Brazilian Homeowners Can Save R$ 300 With Solar Roof Tiles On Their Energy Bill
The solar roof tile that can help Brazilians save on their energy bills, produced by Eternit, a new product in the country, is already being tested in two homes in the interior of São Paulo. The model is made of concrete and features integrated photovoltaic cells. One of the houses receiving the technology is located in São Bento de Sapucaí. There, 400 photovoltaic tiles with 9.16 kWp were installed, with an estimated average production capacity of 400 kWh/month – according to Eternit.
