Production, for the time being, 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 has been named Tégula Solar. Another model that can help with the economy, in fiber cement, is awaiting approval from Inmetro and will be added to the brand's new photovoltaic line - the Eternit Solar.

The technology that can help Brazilians save on energy bills is 100% national and the products are already being produced at the Tégula Solar factory, which belongs to the Eternit group and is located in the interior of São Paulo.
