Sign upA fully integrated and homogeneous photovoltaic roof with fish scale appearance and custom coloration
The solution addresses three key issues in the development of photovoltaic energy generation. It provides a fully integrated and homogeneous photovoltaic roof, with a fish scale appearance (and color option), ideal for urban/residential areas. Thanks to the visual integration of Sunstyle®, development in historic buildings/areas is possible. Regarding the development of architectural projects (large buildings) under modern strict environmental standards, architects no longer have to sacrifice the aesthetic appearance of their creations. In addition, Sunstyle® is composed of large modules, which allows for a fast and simplified installation process and more importantly, an installed capacity similar to regular photovoltaic modules.
