Uniteck Sarl

What Uniteck Sarl does

Uniteck Sarl is a French industrial manufacturer of solar and electrical equipment for off-grid and mobile applications, founded on November 15, 2012 in Béziers by Yoann FOURMOND and Arnaud OLLIVIER and now headquartered in Montady, France. The company designs and produces a complete solar energy system portfolio centered on the UNISUN panel family (Monocrystalline M, Back-Contact BC, and Slim MS flexible panels using ETFE technology), complemented by UNIFIX mounting systems, MPPT and PWM charge controllers, AGM, GEL, and LiFePO4 batteries, DC distribution components (switch-disconnectors, fuses, battery protection, balancers), DC and AC-DC battery chargers, quasi and pure sine inverters, UNIBOX electrical enclosures, low-voltage LED lighting, and Plug & Play portable generators. All UNISUN panels integrate an anti hot-spot protection system, and production is in-house across metal fabrication, wiring, electronics assembly, and plastic molding, with sheet metal internalized in 2020 and a cabling workshop built out in 2022.

The business model is hardware sales through a pan-European channel of over 2,500 specialized distributors active across 27 countries, supplying both professional installers and individual end customers. The product range is organized into vertical-specific Kits Solaires for boating (corrosion-resistant components), vehicles (camping cars, motorhomes, converted vans, transport trucks), isolated leisure sites (hunting cabins, garden sheds, mobile homes), and signage (road signs, traffic signals). Marketing is multilingual (French, English, Spanish, Italian, German) and combines a content-rich website, online sizing tools (UNIMAGIC solar simulator, UNICABLE cable calculator), social media presence, and trade show participation, while pricing is set by resellers rather than disclosed publicly. Cumulative customer outcomes exceed 100,000 installations, and the company cites a strategic objective of becoming the European leader in solar energy for isolated sites, supported by its 2024 relocation to a renovated Montady industrial site.

Products and services

• UNISUN M Monocrystalline Solar Panels Standard aluminum-framed monocrystalline photovoltaic panels in 12V/24V configurations from 5W to 400W with high-transmissibility tempered glass for outdoor durability. Used as the base solar generation element across vehicle, nautical, isolated-site, and signaling installations.
• UNISUN BC Back-Contact Solar Panels Back-contact monocrystalline solar panels with rear-positioned electrical contacts that improve surface efficiency, producing more compact and lighter panels at equivalent power output. Targeted at space-constrained applications such as RV roofs and boat decks where premium aesthetics also matter (black backsheet finish).
• UNISUN MS Slim Flexible Solar Panels Lightweight flexible monocrystalline panels with ETFE coating on a fiberglass backing that offers superior light transmittance, self-cleaning properties, and high UV and corrosion resistance. Can flex up to 5° for semi-rigid surfaces, making them suitable for slightly curved boat decks and nomadic surfaces where rigid panels will not fit.
