A hindrance to the installation of solar panels on buildings is the simple fact that many building designers think they are ugly. It no longer has to be that way! Presenting: The printed solar panels that can look anyway you want! See video with printed PV sample from AGC below:
Depending on the design pattern, the energy efficiency of the printed photovoltaic panels will be 10-15%. The more dark colours in the design, the higher the energy efficiency.
We are just about to finish the first building project in South-East Asia using printed PV,
namely for a big facade wall, 9 x 6 meters, showing the UniKL university logo and slogan. See inserted image of how the printed university logo will look like.
Interestingly, most people will not even realise that it is a solar panel, but will think it is just a big signboard on the building facade.
This amazing design flexibility for solar panels is a game changer. Certainly, the excuse that solar panels are ugly is no longer valid!
Stay posted for photos of the completed installation of the printed PV. The project will launch early 2024.
