Solar Tiles
Solar facade for areas, where appearance is equally important as energy production.
Solar Tiles are customizable solar facade tiles designed for sensitive urban areas, where the design and visual appearance are equally important as the energy production. They are combining the best of both worlds: They are merging aesthetics and ease of use of the tiles with energy production of the solar panels. Solar Tiles are the next step in of the evolution of the traditional facade tiles. They can be easily installed directly on the wall – simplifying the installation process and cutting installation costs. Thanks to their long lifecycle, which is matched with the lifecycle of contemporary buildings, the investment will return several times.
