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.

How does a solar walkway work?

The Solar Walkway uses solar energy from the sun to generate power. This power is fed back directly to the local grid or stored in a battery. The electricity can be used to power lights, charge vehicles, or other electronic devices. The floor tiles contain LED lights and are covered with a walkable glass layer to encourage engagement with citizens.

How much energy does a walkway solar panel generate?

The panels have an efficiency rating of two-thirds of regular PV panels. They generate up to 35Wp. Each module is 60 x 60 cm. The energy generated is sent back into the grid. 9 sensors on every Walkway module make the floor a powerful touchpad with endless possibilities.
