Facade Coverings with Photovoltaic Panels: GROW.2 Sustainable Energy Solution

Facade Coverings with Photovoltaic Panels

In this article, we explore an innovative and widely discussed topic: photovoltaic panels as facade coverings. While still an experimental concept, it is likely that these panels will be efficiently incorporated into residential and commercial buildings in the near future.

🌱 GROW.2 Photovoltaic Panels: How They Work

These are small photovoltaic panels called GROW.2. They not only capture solar energy and convert it into electricity but also function as tiny wind turbines.

The panels are flexible and are placed on the facade surface like leaves. Just like leaves, they move with the wind, generating additional electricity.

♻️ Sustainable Materials and Adaptability

The panels are made from 100% recycled polyethylene, allowing the material to be reused if any cells break. Due to their small size and flexibility, they can adapt to any facade shape, including curved or irregular surfaces.
