Vertical Solar - A wall made out of solar-block PV panels

Vertical Solar enables to produce solar energy with PV panels settled on steep surfaces.

The solution makes buildings themselves into potential energy producers. The product combine solar PV technology with standard building materials, there is no need for dramatic changes in construction methods, so wasted wall space in cities represents a superb opportunity to produce Terawatts of electric power. SolaBlock provides a pathway for a smooth transition to high EV demand in cities. SolaBlock buildings are hurricane-resistant and self-powered, changing the energy and safety outlook for vulnerable areas. Vertical solar wall systems can be deployed economically at box stores, factories, data centers, prisons, highway walls, schools and other structures that currently are just wasted walls. It is a solution for both new and existing construction, that is cost-effective, easy-to-install and compatible with complex architectures reducing congestion to the grid, creating resiliency to natural disasters such as hurricanes, and empowering residents with tools to enjoy the benefits of solar and combat climate change.
