Problem
Conventional solar panels mounted on top of roof tiles may be a great source of clean energy, but are rarely nice to look at, and relatively expensive to install.
SOLUTION
Solarstone provides building-integrated solar panels (BIPV) that are specifically adapted for roofing materials.This reduces construction material needed for installing a solar roof by 50%. The BIPV technology performs as regular roofing material while harnessing solar energy. In practice, Solarstone replaces traditional roof tiles, shake or shingle roofs with innovative solar modules.
The panels do not require any expensive mounting systems, instead the modules are installed directly to wooden battens, whilst the PV cables are connected to the inverter. Solarstone’s BIPV solution is locally produced energy is the most sustainable way to combat climate and energy challenges.
KEY CUSTOMERS AND INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
Having supplied solar panels to over 550 buildings in Northern Europe, the company is quickly attracting interest globally. Solarstone’s solar solutions may appeal strongly to design-conscious consumers and drive adoption of solar panels in East Asian homes and communities.
Team
The core team consists of roofing experts and electrical engineers, having combined their past experience developing simple yet efficient photovoltaic solutions.
Unique selling point
Solarstone has developed a bracket solution that enables you to turn any regular solar modules into BIPV. While BIPV is generally considered expensive, Solarstone’s IP-protected solution provides affordable installations.
Asia Connection
The growing solar roofing market in East Asia presents a great opportunity for Solarstone, and they are looking for distribution partners, clients, funding, acquisition and new ideas.
Pitch
Solarstone replaces traditional roof tiles, shake or single roofs with innovative solar modules.
