Coloured solar panels for extra showiness

The colored solar panels in our range create interesting architectural possibilities. For example, terracotta panels blend beautifully with a red brick wall.

 

Up to 22.07% efficiency

It is often thought that colored solar panels have a much lower efficiency than conventional ones. However, this is not the case.

  • For example, a completely black 1762 x 1134 mm solar panel is typically 440-470W efficient.
  • The equivalent mint green is 430W
  • The equivalent terracotta is 400W

Reasonable price level

Are colored solar panels expensive? Surprisingly, they are not. For example, in a 72-panel wall installation, the price per kWp of a 400W terracotta vs. a 450W all-black solar panel is only about 20% more expensive.

Photovoltaic glass facades for high-profile projects

Solar panels can also be integrated into a glass facade. These are particularly suitable for high-profile projects where there is a willingness to invest in the facade. The price level for integrated glass facades is approximately 30% higher than for a conventional glass facade. Therefore, the payback period for the additional investment is short.

There are stunning print patterns, colored glass or stylish black available. Transparent glass options are also suitable for curtain walls, for example.

We implement integrated facades with our partner specializing in facades.
