New photovoltaic tiles for capturing solar energy from Eternit received Inmetro certification to be commercialized and surprise with a unique design
Eternit, in partnership with Tégula Soluções para Telhados, presents the new models of solar tiles from the Tégula Solar line, certified by Inmetro for commercialization. These photovoltaic tiles bring innovation and competitiveness to the market, offering ease of adaptation to existing buildings and a more harmonious aesthetic compared to traditional solar panels, according to the Ekkogreen website.
The new models of photovoltaic tiles, including BIG-F10C, BIG-F11, Plana F-12 and PLANA-F15, were developed to facilitate installation and offer greater power. The BIG-F10C, for example, is ideal for installation on existing roofs or renovations, with a power of 10Wp and an average generation capacity of 1,25 kWh/month per tile.
Economy and sustainability in new photovoltaic tiles
The BIG-F11, an evolution of the BIG-F10, provides 20% more power (11Wp) and potential savings of up to R$120,00 on the electricity bill for systems with 500 tiles installed.
The PLANA-F15 has a power of 15Wp and a greater occupation of the tile area with photovoltaic cells, making it the most powerful model in the power/coverage area comparison.

In addition to the new models of photovoltaic tiles, Eternit received a green patent registration from INPI, recognizing the development of a unique manufacturing process on the market. This process allows the application of the solar energy capture module on photovoltaic tiles, guaranteeing the exclusive right to commercial exploitation of the technology in Brazil.
With Inmetro certification and new models of photovoltaic solar tiles, Eternit and Tégula reinforce their commitment to innovation and sustainability. These launches promise to revolutionize the solar energy market in Brazil, offering efficient and affordable solutions for consumers and builders.
About photovoltaic panels
Photovoltaic panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are made of semiconductor materials, such as silicon, that absorb photons of sunlight. When the photons hit the panel material, they excite the electrons, allowing them to move and generate an electrical current.
Photovoltaic panels are a popular way of generating renewable energy as they do not emit pollutants during electricity generation and have a relatively low carbon footprint over their lifetime. They can be used in a wide variety of applications, from residential and commercial solar power systems to large solar plants that supply power to electrical grids.
Benefits of photovoltaic panels
They include reduced energy bills, energy independence, low maintenance and the ability to generate electricity silently and without the need for fossil fuels. However, solar panels also face challenges such as the initial installation cost and the need for adequate installation space.
