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.

The solar roof tiles that can help Brazilians save on their energy bills have been produced on demand at the Tégula Solar factory in Atibaia, São Paulo. For now, production is focused on pilot projects, such as the one carried out at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and now this residential project.

The concrete solar energy model has already been approved by Inmetro and is named Tégula Solar. Another model made of fiber cement, which can assist in savings, is awaiting Inmetro approval and will be added to the brand’s new photovoltaic line – Eternit Solar.
