A Flooring Capable of Producing Solar Photovoltaic Energy Was Installed in Barcelona, Spain, More Precisely in the Plaza de las Glorias, and the Result Is Surprising!

To create a sustainable future, a flooring that has the capacity to generate solar photovoltaic energy was installed in Barcelona. It covers 50 square meters that can produce about 7,560 kWh per year and reduce the emission of over 2 tons of CO2.

The Flooring is made of highly resistant and non-slip glass that is connected to photovoltaic modules and wiring aimed at discharging solar energy to the general grid. Thus, the flooring has a dual functionality as it will maintain its role as a traffic space while producing energy.

To carry out the pilot test, about 50 square meters of the flooring capable of generating solar photovoltaic energy were installed in a representative area of the city. Thus, a small area around the Plaza de les Glóries was chosen.

The installation has a capacity of 9 kWp, promising to generate about 6.7 kWh of energy and, per year, the flooring can generate around 7,560 kWh in solar photovoltaic energy, equivalent to the annual consumption of three households. The generated energy will be monitored to control the system’s efficiency. With this area where the flooring capable of generating solar energy was installed, over 2 tons of carbon dioxide will be reduced annually.

Is the Solar Energy Flooring Really Effective?

The flooring was installed at the end of April and will continue to be tested for another six months. The initial idea is for the solar photovoltaic flooring to power a public bike rental service.

A municipal commission is also evaluating the potential to install the flooring in other parts of the Spanish city. The innovation has several advantages, including its composition of glass and recycled plastic, its maintenance being much simpler, the design is modular, and its solar energy technology integrates into the environment, making better use of public spaces.

Another important detail will be the assessment of wear, considering that it will not be the same as placing photovoltaic panels on a roof, even though it is very resistant.

Solar Energy Market and Its Innovations

In view of the expansion of solar energy in various segments, several companies are seeking viable solutions for greater use of renewable energies. In May, the company Platio created a solar energy flooring for homes that has the capacity to generate electricity and also return it to the consumers’ electric grid.

According to information provided by the company itself, only 20 square meters of the flooring are needed to meet the annual electricity consumption of an average family.
