Solaris Solar has introduced a new terracotta-coloured building-integrated PV (BIPV) solar panel designed to visually harmonise with red-tiled roofs, catering to both heritage buildings and contemporary architecture. The aluminium-framed module measures 1,722 mm x 1,134 mm x 30 mm and delivers a power output of 355 W. It uses N-type monocrystalline half-cut solar cells laminated under glass foil, with a ceramic-printed frame coloured using inorganic pigments claimed to resist discolouration. The panel features 3.2 mm tempered front and back glasses, can be mounted using Solarix Solar’s patented “invisible” aluminium suspension system design, and includes provisions for the façade’s ventilation. Each module weighs 22.5 kg per square metre, including the mounting system, and is rated IP67/IP68 for weather resistance. It supports a maximum system voltage of 1,000 V, and has an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C. The product comes with a 10-year warranty on both the module and its colour retention, as well as a 25-year performance warranty guaranteeing at least 85 per cent of nominal output by the end of the warranty period.
