THE SOLAR POWER ROOF TILE - AN INNOVATIVE AND APPEALING ANSWER TO THE DEMAND TO AESTHETICALLY INTEGRATE PHOTOVOLTAICS INTO THE BUILDING ENVELOPE | SOLAR POWER ROOF Project | FP4 | CORDIS

Objective

Solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation is gaining momentum in Europe. The proposed Project aims at the validation of a highly innovative photovoltaic module encapsulation technology using fluorpolymer as encapsulation material. This technology is transferred from the chemical, the electromechanical and the medical sector into solar photovoltaics.
