The existing building stock represents 99% of a city. Integrating renewable energy sources in existing buildings can pose challenges due to technical and regulatory restrictions. SOLARBOX proposes a new renewable energy solution for existing buildings to address this challenge. SOLARBOX utilises PV technology in laminated glass to produce power from the sun whilst respecting visual regulatory requirements for old buildings. SOLARBOX is highly customisable (e.g. size, colours), making it suitable for protected buildings such as old city centres, castles, and churches to generate clean renewable energy.
