Neluma from ARaymond is a turnkey Floating PV solution (FPV) designed to address the limits of existing floating solar systems. The highly modular design adapts to a wide range of lake configurations, while a mobile micro factory concept supports an installation process that is easy, flexible, and lightweight.

Built on ARaymond's fastening expertise, the system combines a simple clip on assembly - enabling fast installation and reduced on site operations - with a structure compatible with most photovoltaic panels on the market, ensuring strong adaptability to site conditions.
Eco-design as a guiding approach
Neluma follows an eco-designed industrial approach that aims to reduce transport requirements and limit long term impact on lake shores, without permanent soil sealing. An aluminium catamaran style structure, combined with a flexible anchoring and mooring system, helps limit material use and reduce shading on water surfaces.
In the energy sector, the family-owned company - recognised for its expertise in fastening, assembly, and fluid handling solutions - has already contributed to the installation of more than 22 GW of groundmounted solar capacity worldwide through its fastening systems.
With Neluma, ARaymond continues to expand into high-potential activities, complementing its historical businesses by applying its long standing industrial expertise to floating photovoltaics, a rapidly growing segment of renewable energy. The Grenoble headquartered company aims to significantly increase the share of non mobility activities in its portfolio by 2040.
With Neluma, ARaymond demonstrates its ability to transform its long standing industrial expertise into comprehensive solutions serving the energy transition. This innovation reflects our ambition to design high performance solutions that are customisable and deployable at scale, says Emmanuel Le Flem, Executive President of ARaymond.
