Specialists at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) have presented the ShadeCut technology. This development allows solar panels to look not as separate technical equipment, but as an integral part of a building. This was reported by Ixbt.com report.
Using the new method, complex visual patterns can be applied to the surface of solar modules, including the look of brickwork or roof tiles. At the same time, the panels’ high energy efficiency is preserved.
The ShadeCut technology works using the MorphoColor system, based on microstructures that control light. According to the developers, such panels retain 95% of the power compared with ordinary modules.
This technology is particularly well suited for historic buildings, facades and roofs. In projects where aesthetic appearance is important, ShadeCut panels blend fully into the building’s overall design.
