What are the benefits of installing photovoltaic tiles on the floor?

Fitting photovoltaic tiles on the floor not only enables the more fruitful and fertile exploitation of a surface area which extends beyond that of the roof, it also means greater accessibility, which translates into convenient installation and maintenance and therefore, potentially, into lower installation, cleaning and maintenance costs.

Can a solar panel be used for underfloor heating?

When you mention solar panel, do you mean solar thermal? In that case, they can be used for wet underfloor heating as they heat water. However, if you are referring to photo voltaic panels, they generate electricity for immediate use and only when it's sunny, which is when you are least likely to be using your underfloor heating.

What is a photovoltaic floor?

Technically, the photovoltaic flooring system Floor® is a floating floor as it is installed above ground level with the use of an adjustable mechanical support, raising it 3.5 to 5 cm above the ground.

How many cells are in a photovoltaic tile?

Each photovoltaic tile contains 24 cells and provides a power of 100/120 W, depending on colour, with a 20 mm thick glass, without aluminium frames. Flush-fitting glass enables greater freedom of modulation and creation for the assembly of panels, with superior aesthetic results.

What is the floor® flooring system?

The Floor® flooring system consists of glass surface 70 x 103 cm photovoltaic tiles which can be composed and laid as desired. This means you are free to focus on the tiles when designing and planning, as once they have been laid, each one will come to life, generating energy.

How do solar panels work?

Our solar panels are not hidden away on rooftops or remote farms. Instead, they are built in cities right below your feet. Find us at the entrance and exits of train stations, in car parks, public parks or simply on the sidewalk. The floor works by capturing energy from the sun and feeds it back to the grid, or stores it in a battery.
