Technical FAQs 4

What are solar tiles?

Solar tiles are roofing materials that can produce energy directly from sunlight. Solar tiles are integrated into the roof itself and function as both a roofing substance and a source of energy, as opposed to conventional solar panels, which are mounted on top of an existing roof.

Are photovoltaic floor tiles sustainable?

Photovoltaic floor tiles combine solar energy generation with durable paving materials, offering sustainable energy solutions for urban spaces, public areas, and smart cities, while reducing carbon emissions and saving space.

How do solar tiles work?

Solar tiles are integrated into the roof itself and function as both a roofing substance and a source of energy, as opposed to conventional solar panels, which are mounted on top of an existing roof. Photovoltaic cells in solar tiles turn sunlight into direct current (DC) energy.

What are flexible solar panels?

Flexible solar panels (bendable solar panel) are solar modules made using thin-film photovoltaic (PV) materials or specially designed crystalline silicon that allow the panel to bend and flex without breaking.
