Installing solar panels on an external wall is possible. With a photovoltaic façade system, building walls can become clean energy sources and modern architectural elements.
What is a façade system?
It is a solution that generates electricity through solar modules installed vertically on a solid external wall, such as brick, stone or concrete.
How is it installed?
The modules are fixed to a continuous structure that covers the façade area. The system is suspended in front of the building, with rear ventilation and no direct contact with the wall, reducing the risk of structural damage.
Advantages
Photovoltaic façades offer modern design, flexible formats, efficient ventilation, installation without direct wall drilling and aesthetic and functional property value.
Customisation
Components can be combined with panels in different tones, enabling harmonious integration with the building style.
