Inside Naked Energy’s Hybrid Solar Technology

29 May 2025

In this episode of the Raw Green podcast, Christophe Williams, CEO of Naked Energy, joins co-hosts Francesco De Lieto and Emma Mee to explore how hybrid photovoltaic thermal technology is reshaping clean energy.

They explore the engineering behind Virtu, Naked Energy’s proprietary hybrid technology, which houses both photovoltaic and solar thermal collectors inside a vacuum tube. Christophe explains how this design allows buildings to generate electricity and heat simultaneously from a single unit, delivering the world’s highest energy density.

If you are interested in the real-world ROI of hybrid solar breakthroughs, or the journey of scaling clean tech with global partners like E.ON, this episode is essential listening. Touching on circular models like heat-as-a-service and the challenge of bringing complex hardware innovation to market, it offers a compelling look into a company reshaping the solar industry.
