A special surface, that reproduce aesthetic of terracotta or other building materials while transparent for sun rays, allows solar cells<\/a>\u00a0to function even if totally integrated.<\/p>\n

Monocrystalline solar cells under a terracotta layer<\/h3>\n

Each solar panel is not just a photovoltaic panel, but an active architectural element with multiple functionality. It is handcrafted and very resistant. In this way, the surface hides and protects the built-in photovoltaic cells.<\/p>\n

The module is monolithic and consists of a non-toxic and recyclable polymer compound in which monocrystalline solar cells are embedded. It is processed in a way that promotes photon absorption. A special surface is opaque to the eyes, but transparent to the sun’s rays.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”11702″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”185511″][vc_column_text text_lead=”yes” uncode_shortcode_id=”651815″]Due to the manual production method, the modules are very similar, but never identical. The slight differences create a realistic effect that makes the bricks particularly suitable for cultural objects. The roof tiles are always manufactured to order.<\/p>\n

Solar roof tiles with terracotta aesthetics have been mentioned by the Italian Ministry of Heritage, Activities and Tourism (MiBACT) as a solution to improve energy efficiency in cultural heritage. The first Invisible Solar installation has been made on House of Vettii<\/a> inside the Pompeii Archaeological Park as a pilot project in 2018.<\/p>\n
