Revolutionary solar tile
On a bright summer day Malta receives more free energy from the Sun in just one hour, than is needed to power all of Malta’s needs for over a year. The challenge is how best to harness this abundant energy in Malta’s specific circumstances, where land availability for installing conventional solar panels is very limited.
Paving Malta’s solar energy future
In 2022, Virtue Solaris has launched a new revolutionary product, which has the potential to overcome this challenge, and to accelerate Malta’s progress towards sustainable renewable energy future.
Developed by Virtue Solaris’ Canadian technology partners, Solar Earth Solutions, the product consists of pavement-integrated solar photovoltaic (PIPV) modules, which like conventional solar panels, transform sunlight into electricity.
But unlike traditional solar panels, this revolutionary product can be installed on any existing surfaces exposed to sunlight, such pavements, roads, carparks, cycleways, driveways or footpaths.
Robust PIPV modules
PIPV modules do not require new surface installation; they can be easily integrated into existing pathways without the need for any infrastructural works, ensuring additional RoI on currently zero-value infrastructure.
PIPV cells are protected by patented Canadian technology including heavy duty, anti-slip and impact-resistant polymers uniquely suited for even the harshest environment. These cells are designed to withstand pedestrian and light vehicle traffic. Additionally, the product has features that help to manage hardscape surface heat. Integrated functionality can be added to enhance overall safety.
This innovative product represents the most resilient, viable, cost effective and commercially available solution on the market today. This unique PIPV technology has been installed and proven in a variety of urban and rural settings across various regions of the world. It does not require any advance or specialized maintenance above typical cleanings, such as a regular sidewalk would undergo. The product holds CE, FCC, PSE and PoHS certifications and is presently undergoing additional PV module certification by TUV.
