Description

SOLINA consists of flexible solar modules for balcony solar systems based on organic photovoltaics (OPV). Through its innovative technology and sculptural aesthetics, it offers a new approach to energy generation via photovoltaics.
The ‘growing’ and bifacial, i.e. double-sided active, solar structure creates a large surface area for power generation on a relatively small footprint. However, it is not efficiency and yield that take centre stage, but beauty, emotion, and the positive narrative of the energy transition!
