Product Description

The system - patented by Area Franceram Group - can transform an ordinary roof into a power station and deliver large quantities of clean energy: a roof of just *5 metres square generates something like 3 kW, at a total allinclusive cost that varies from *5 to *8 thousand euro. An expense recouped by a two-fold result: in addition to the energy source, the system also provides an extremely tough, durable roof.
The tiles are made from a sophisticated spray-dried red porcelain mix: these are genuine ceramic tiles. Ceramics are a man-made product, obtained by firing earth. At Area Franceram, we have brought ceramics, kiln-fired earth, into the future, by fitting each tile with an invisible photovoltaic panel that traps the sunlight to produce energy.
The tiles are made from a sophisticated spray-dried red porcelain mix: these are genuine ceramic tiles.
When a photovoltaic panel is combined with a brick tile, problems arise because the tile has greater heat induction and produces an efficiency curve in the panel, which tends to bend.
This is the reason for the use of the porcelain tile mix, since this is a colder material and much more energy-efficient.
But there are added advantages, such as the easy maintenance, since individual panels can be replaced, or the simple upgrading (for example, from an 8 Wp panel to a *2 Wp one), and as time passes and tomorrow becomes today, higher-tech panels can be fitted.
