The energy industry has just made a discovery of the century which is Photovoltaic Tiles. The experts are calling this the new era. Photovoltaic tiles have the ability to generate electricity at home, obliterating the need for solar penal. Photovoltaic tiles are mapped out to assist in two purposes: they are used in exactly the same way as the real roof or wall product, but at the same time generate electricity.
The peninsula’s ceramic tile industry has come a great way in integrating PV devices into ceramic tiles, making them both aesthetic and functional. This innovation is most useful to buildings. CECERBENCH laboratory at the Centro Ceramico Italiano is the one who is getting work done on the tiles.
Researchers have focused on replacing astonishing glazing coatings on the ceramic tiles with the photovoltaic coatings to increase the energy production. At the moment they are also striving to build a technology in which one can go directly put the photovoltaic surfaces on ceramic tiles. Their main goal is to add new functions to the tiles, along with the generation of heat, and the potential to actively clean themselves.
The created prototype is small with a size of 10 cm in width and length and made up of a string of four integrated photovoltaic cells.
Experts are also developing photovoltaic tiles for homes. The experiments with the tiles have proved to be quite fruitful. The PV tiles are able to produce the required electricity that is used in the households, hence leading to small electricity bills.
The desired electricity that is used in households can be produced by PV tiles resulting in small electricity bills. Without the extra resources of heat or chill, the tiles enable controlled circulation of heat between the interior and exterior of structures.
The photovoltaic tiles are not only functional but also come with several unique attributes. To maintain the aesthetic values, the tiles can be assimilated into the architecture of the building, unlike solar penal. This type of revolution is expected to cause conventional solar penal to disappear in the midway. Experts around the world are developing not only this technology but also others.
