Member - Solarinvent

Solarinvent was born in 2014 as an innovative start-up, created from the passion and the impulse of Pietro Finocchiaro, at that time researcher involved in studying innovative solutions for air conditioning, at “Dipartimento di Ricerche Energetiche ed Ambientali” of University of Palermo. Since he was an engineering student, he has been fashinated by the idea of using the heat to cool the air, and during the lessons of Thermotechnics he started to reflect about new possibilities in air handling processes. An idea he would then dedicate body and soul to, by conducting theoretical studies, research and laboratory tests, encountering successes and failures, but always supported by enthusiasm and the wish to achieve the best result. The research’s activities of Solarinvent were aimed to go beyond the state of the art of solar cooling technologies, especially for what concernes the low market competitiveness and the technological limits. Thanks to this researches, we were able to reach an important increase of performances and a less complexity of the system, all in advantage of costs reduction and higher feasibility in different applications. After several researches, building of prototypes, installation of pilot plants, Solarinvent has completed today the developement of freescoo technology, and can offer competence, know-how and intellectual property about components and systems in the technological branch of air cooling, air treatment, heat recovery and food drying.
