Solar energy on tiles

Solar roof tiles offer a new way to capture solar energy on roofs. We explore some of its characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages.

Solar tiles are an innovative way to harness renewable energy directly on your roof. In this article, you will discover everything you need to know about these photovoltaic tiles and how they can transform your home into a source of clean and sustainable generation.

Also known as photovoltaic solar tiles, they are conventional tiles designed to integrate photovoltaic cells that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.

With our award-winning patented design, our solar tiles generate up to 12% more electricity than regular solar panels, plus heated water, for a combined efficiency of up to 55% per sqm, which means you can power more with less or sell excess energy back to the grid.

The process of converting sunlight into electricity is based on the photovoltaic effect. When photons from sunlight strike the photovoltaic cells of solar tiles, they release electrons in the semiconductor materials. These electrons generate an electric current that can be used to power your home appliances or injected into the electrical grid.

Photovoltaic solar tiles are integrated directly into the roof, allowing maximum use of the available space. Unlike traditional solar panels, which require additional structures for installation, solar tiles blend seamlessly with the aesthetics of the roof. This is especially beneficial in homes with limited roof size or aesthetic restrictions.
