We have developed an innovative technology that enables the integration of photovoltaic cells into the structures of systems designed for self-sustaining energy collection. Photovoltaic cells, available in various sizes, can be assembled and connected on specially designed PCBs that also include electronic components. These cells are then inserted into the system’s structure, imparting properties such as walkability, driveability, water repellency, and thermal stability compatible with automotive requirements.

Systems already developed include photovoltaic strips for shutters and umbrellas, as well as tiles and paving slabs. This technology opens up a world of completely autonomous applications, disconnected from any energy source for their entire operational life. Once mounted and positioned in the operational structure, the PV cells and management electronics are protected with a transparent resin that ensures mechanical protection, high temperature resistance, and weather resistance.

Systems that can employ this technology include residential roofs, shutters, shading systems, road signs such as waymarkers and billboards, and many other applications.
