Photovoltaic Floor Tiles

Solar tiles are small modules that can be attached to your existing shingles or substitute them.

Photovoltaic floor tiles.

Solar tiles also known as solar shingles or solar slates are for people who want a solar powered home without anybody noticing. 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. The finished look is much more natural than that of traditional solar panels since tiles blend seamlessly with the roof. 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.

Photovoltaic cells converting sunlight into electricity but they re made to look just like traditional roof tiles. 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. Development of pv pavement prototype in order to develop our new product from this project we developed a new type of solar pv payment panel through collaboration with a local solar pv engineering company.

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. Figure 4 shows the layout design of the pv floor configuration which is sandwiched between anti slip. Figure 3 solar pv light emitting tiles 3.
