Modern Technology for Historic Architecture - Photovoltaic Roof Tiles for Demanding Heritage Buildings

PhotonRoof, an innovative photovoltaic roof tile developed by ML System, responds to improve the energy efficiency of historic buildings. PhotonRoof is an advanced photovoltaic power generation system which, from the outside, does not reveal its modern function.

The tile was designed for investors whose priority is to preserve the original aesthetics of the building. The product not only offers the physical properties of traditional roofing materials, but also faithfully reflects their structure and colour. By using PhotonRoof, a building gains modern renewable energy generation while maintaining full respect for the authentic character of its historic form. PhotonRoof makes it possible to increase the share of green energy in the building’s overall energy balance and reduce operating costs, without the need to install conventional photovoltaic panels that could negatively affect the appearance of the roof. The solution can be used both during comprehensive roof renovation and when modernising selected roof sections. The modular structure of the system makes it easier to adapt the installation to the roof geometry and to individual conservation requirements.

PhotonRoof combines protective, aesthetic and energy-generating functions, making it an integral part of the architecture rather than an additional photovoltaic installation.
