European company works on cheap and efficient solar roof. The idea is to compete with the giant Tesla in the sector
With the joint efforts of countries to curb climate change, new technologies in the sector are gaining more and more prominence. A European company calls sunroof is shaking the market with a smart solar energy concept and intends to compete with Tesla in the sector in Europe. The idea is to put your solar roofs on people's homes and create a network sustainable.
SunRoof is working to further evolve the concept that gained prominence in the market with Tesla. However, its concept uses 2-in-1 solar roofs, with innovative facades. The company guarantees that the facades will have the capacity to generate electricity without the need for common photovoltaic modules. Instead, the company uses monocrystalline solar cells sandwiched between two sheets of glass. This same concept promises to generate more solar energy cheap.
The idea is to use the technology in as many homes as possible in a given region, creating a kind of local solar power plant. With this, you can sell the surplus to people or companies that seek the use of renewable energy. Tesla uses Autobidder to manage and negotiate solar energy from the roofs, but the system is closed. SunRoff intends to work with diverse partners and be Tesla's main competitor in the sector.
“SunRoof was founded to make the switch to renewable energy not only easy, but highly cost-effective, without ever having to sacrifice features or design. We have already grown over 500% year-over-year and will use the latest funding to double growth”, said CEO Leck Kaniuk.
The company drew the attention of the market, thus achieving an investment of 4,5 million euros. The company wants to grow in Europe and also intends to start working in the US, where Tesla dominates.
