New products: Megasol, heating a small house, ultra-light solar cell
Swiss panel manufacturer Megasol has unveiled a new photovoltaic roof system, available in two variants - full black and translucent. The system consists of vertical supports,
ridge profile and solar panels. It uses solar panels with 21.7% power, black cells, cross contacts and rear busbars. The second variant uses wider, transparent cell spacing to allow 10% light penetration. Both systems consist of three components: vertical supports, a ridge profile and solar panels. Installation is simple, according to the manufacturer.
The system is suitable for roofs, car parks, canopies, facades, etc.
