How many solar roof tiles will freesuns produce?

The flexible, automated production allows Freesuns to produce its newly developed matrix shingle roof tiles on a pilot scale before moving into mass production. The production line will manufacture a total of 4,000 solar roof tiles using the matrix shingle technology.

What is solar shingling & how does it work?

The technique of laying out solar cells in a module so that their edges overlap like shingles on a house roof is called »shingling« With the shingled layout, there are fewer gaps between the individual solar cells so more of the sunlight that is incident on the module can be absorbed.

Do shingled solar cells produce more electricity?

In addition, shingled solar cells reflect less light, and thus generate more electricity. The adaptation of solar cell production from the conventional approach to shingled solar cells requires some dedicated optimizations, however.
