Maximize Every Square Meter with High-Efficiency Solar Pavement. Sustainable Solution for Generating Solar Energy in Various Environments, Saving and Promoting a Green Future
Solar energy has positioned itself as one of the best solutions for producing clean energy and reducing electricity consumption. However, it is increasingly common to use building rooftops to create common and leisure areas, which reduces the available space for the installation of photovoltaic solar panels. In light of this challenge, at Solem we developed Arena, the first photovoltaic pavement capable of transforming any open space into a source of clean energy generation.
Solar Energy in Pavements: Arena and Its Advantages
Arena is installed in the same way as conventional pavement, which facilitates its implementation in various construction and urban renewal projects. Additionally, it can be combined with other types of pavement to enhance aesthetic finishes, making it a versatile and attractive solution for various applications.
Resistance and Durability of Arena Solar Pavement
One of Arena’s main advantages is its high resistance. According to the company, this photovoltaic pavement is designed to generate energy and savings for over 20 years, ensuring a long lifespan and a profitable long-term investment. Thanks to Arena, it is possible to maximize energy generated in urban spaces, resulting in significant savings on electricity bills. Furthermore, the implementation of this technology contributes to enhancing the sustainability certifications of buildings and urban spaces, promoting more ecological and responsible development.

Solar Energy in Urban Spaces: Arena
Arena is a solution for generating solar energy in urban environments, where space for traditional solar installations is limited. By utilizing the pavement of common and leisure areas for energy generation, every available square meter is maximized without sacrificing the recreational use of these spaces. Arena’s ability to aesthetically integrate with other types of pavement allows for visual cohesion in urban projects while adding an additional functionality of energy generation. This is especially beneficial in squares, parks, and other public spaces where design and functionality must go hand in hand.
Cost Reduction and Sustainability with Solar Energy
The adoption of Arena in construction and urban renewal projects not only helps reduce energy costs but also decreases the carbon footprint of cities. By generating clean energy directly at the locations where it is consumed, dependence on non-renewable energy sources is reduced, promoting a more sustainable future.
Main Features of Arena Solar Pavement
Energy Efficiency
- High Efficiency: Similar to that of a conventional solar module, thanks to the latest generation photovoltaic cells, typically made of monocrystalline silicon.
- Installation Conditions: Efficiency depends on orientation, tilt, shading, and weather conditions.
- Maintenance: Requires periodic cleaning to maintain optimal performance.
- Cost Reduction: Generates more energy in less space, reducing the cost per kWh.
Durability and Robustness
- Resistance: Supports heavy weights and strong impacts, ideal for intensive use.
- High-Quality Materials: Resistant to weather conditions (rain, frost, heat) and abrasion.
- Anti-Slip: Ensures safety for pedestrians.
- Vehicle Support: Capable of supporting the load of vehicles.
Ease of Installation
- Simple Process: Installation similar to that of traditional tiles.
- Ground Preparation: Level and compacted for a uniform surface.
- Electrical Connection: The tiles connect via electrical cables.
- Inverter: Converts direct current to alternating current, installed near the solar pavement.
Versatility
- Application: Can be installed in squares, gardens, streets, sidewalks, pedestrian areas, public spaces, residences, and leisure areas.
Aesthetics
- Variety of Designs: Wide range of colors and finishes that adapt to any environment.
- Aesthetic Benefits: Enhances urban image, respects the surroundings, adds aesthetic value to buildings, and promotes sustainability.
Benefits of Arena Solar Pavement
- Clean Energy Generation: Reduces CO2 emissions and promotes energy sustainability.
- Utilization of Urban Spaces: Optimizes land use by generating energy in underutilized locations.
- Reduction of Dependence on Fossil Fuels: Promotes energy self-sufficiency and reduces the need to import energy.
- Low Maintenance: Requires low costs and simple cleaning systems.
- Economic Efficiency: Profitable long-term investment that allows for savings on energy costs.
