Tiles are a building material with a long tradition. Anyone choosing tiles today should also consider contemporary, durable solutions such as SOLTECH. Glass tiles are an important component of the solar power system at Alta Elementary School in Malmo, Sweden. The installation combines environmental protection, energy efficiency, aesthetics, comfort and safety.
Glass tiles are in vogue
One of the most environmentally friendly forms of energy is solar energy. The production of electricity from solar energy has developed dynamically in recent years. The SOLTECH concept is attracting attention. Glass tiles give the roof a familiar appearance while improving efficiency.
Intelligent system with glass tiles in a primary school in Sweden
As a manufacturer and developer of intelligent roof systems and photovoltaic solutions, SOLTECH Solar Energy offers innovative high-performance systems characterized by high quality. The Swedish energy company’s solution consists of highly efficient monocrystalline solar panels that generate electricity while being protected against damage and theft. The installation captures solar energy and converts it into power for lighting, heating, ventilation and hot water. Heating and hot water are available for much of the year.
The solar cells are mounted below the glass tiles
Specially designed absorbers are used in the installation, allowing water to flow through the system. These absorbers are placed on an insulating layer and covered with polycarbonate sheets to prevent heat radiation and avoid unnecessary energy loss. The solar power system has an output of 1 kWp. It does not consume valuable resources, and it does not release damaging carbon dioxide during operation.
