Solrif® – the roof of the future.

The panels are laid on the roof truss at an early stage of construction, on the same level and in the same way as roof tiles. Solrif is as rainproof as the weather skin that forms a conventional tile roof and even more hail-resistant than most roof tiles. Solrif is preferably used in new buildings and for roof renovations. In new buildings, the roof structure is prepared as for a tiled roof, then Solrif is interlaced and applied in an overlapping manner. The builder saves the cost of roofing. In roof renovation the material for the roof cladding and its installation is saved. A building integrated PV system therefore does not have to be more expensive than a conventional PV system. Solrif is available in two sizes that can be interconnected. An optimal roof layout can thus always be found. Intermediate areas or obstacles can be filled with cut-to-size blind modules to ensure a homogeneous roof covering.

Elegante – Solar laminated safety glass for carports, patio roofing & facades

With the glass-glass panel Elegante, PV is no longer limited to the rooftop area. It becomes an integral and energy-generating part of the architecture. The frameless photovoltaic glass has a transparency of about 28%. This allows for pleasant shading. The panels offer scope for light and sun protection. Two glasses with a thickness of 4 mm on the front and back provide the necessary robustness. Thanks to the safety glass used, the panels are approved by DIBt for both overhead installation and vertical glazing. In contrast to other solutions, the junction boxes are unobtrusively attached to the edge of the module. Cables and junction boxes are concealed by the mounting system. The entire PV system thus appears homogeneous and very aesthetic from both sides.

Isolante – Energy generation in the façade

Isolante is an insulating and thermal glazing with an excellent U-value (1.1 W/(m²K)). By embedding solar cells in the insulating glass, conventional façade or overhead glazing can produce energy profitably. The front side of Isolante is constructed in the same way as Elegante and offers the same advantages. For the back side aleo used a particularly stable 8mm VS glass. Between the front and back, a filling of heat-insulating argon gas is embedded, making Isolante the optimal thermal insulation module.
