Solarix Solar Unveils Revolutionary Terracotta Panels for Historic Buildings
A Dutch company, Solarix Solar, has introduced a revolutionary solar panel designed to blend seamlessly with historic buildings and modern architecture. The 355 W photovoltaic panel, featuring a terracotta finish, mimics clay tiles and addresses the challenge of preserving visual aesthetics while embracing renewable energy.
The innovative panel uses N-type monocrystalline cells doped with phosphorus, ensuring optimal performance even in low light conditions. This makes it suitable for both residential and commercial installations. Unlike conventional solar panels, which often require altering building aesthetics, the Solarix panel maintains the visual identity of traditional roofs.
Encapsulated in tempered glass, the panel withstands temperatures from -40°C to 85°C and boasts IP67/IP68 certification for dust and water resistance. Moreover, it can produce both electricity and heat simultaneously, increasing energy output by up to 50% compared to conventional solar panels. This technology, known as Pyramid-1P, was developed by MXUN and could potentially replace traditional solar panels due to its efficiency and lower cost.
Solar paint, another emerging technology, also shows promise in converting sunlight into energy, further expanding the possibilities of renewable energy integration.
Solarix Solar's new terracotta system aims to harmoniously integrate renewables in urban and heritage contexts, resolving the tension between energy efficiency and architectural conservation. With its high performance and visually appealing design, this innovation paves the way for a future where solar energy can be seamlessly integrated into our built environment.
