Photovoltaic Floor Tiles

Floor is a walkable photovoltaic tile which thanks to a new technology patented by invent enables the installation of photovoltaic technology in flooring.

Photovoltaic floor tiles.

Solar tiles can be made of thin film pv or classic monocrystalline solar cells. Photovoltaic cells converting sunlight into electricity but they re made to look just like traditional roof tiles. The finished look is much more natural than that of traditional solar panels since tiles blend seamlessly with the roof. Figure 3 solar pv light emitting tiles 3.

Solar tiles also known as solar shingles or solar slates are for people who want a solar powered home without anybody noticing. Therefore walkable solar pv paneled pavement is proposed to replace traditional floor tiles for pavements and cycling tracks which receive a lot of sunshine every day. That s right solar tiles work just like solar panels i e. Thanks to this innovative product the surface area dedicated to the generation of green energy expands and embraces previously unconsidered places.

Walking on top of pv pavers is possible since they have an anti slip surface and withstand pedestrian traffic. The pavements play a significant role in the urban climate and energy provision as they cover about 30 45 of the surface of a city 8. Photovoltaic pavers substitute a conventional roof paver or tile in such a way that it allows owners to generate power and still enjoy the space.
