Sustainable developement goals
The production and installation of solar roof 'Suntiles' with integrated photovoltaic elements
An aesthetic solar panel solution. – Smooth integration with ‘classic’ (ceramic) roof tiles. –
The need
While a great deal of people are interested in solar energy, many are not keen on the aesthetics of standard solar panels. Smartroof Suntiles offer an alternative.
The solution
An aesthetic solar panel solution, Smartroof Suntiles are completely integrated into the roof, making the photovoltaic elements look attractive and natural. They can be combined with several types of ‘classic’ tiles (Neopan/Renopan, ceramic). Integrated cooling channels result in an important increase in efficiency and lifespan.
The value proposition
- Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) with internal cooling solution and heat recuperation.
- Cost-effective: financial return in 10 years.
- Easy to install and repair, no special chassis is needed.
- Smooth integration with ‘classic’ (ceramic) roof tiles.
