There are various examples of houses in the us and europe that have had coloured solar panels installed.
Red coloured solar panels.
However solar modules are also available in other colours such as green red yellow or pink.
Coloured solar panels have also been used in the uk.
Each technology has different efficiencies and often different colors within one technology will also have varying power ratings.
Form follows function and design and engineering go hand in hand.
By converting colors rather than filtering them out the panels have more light available for electricity production.
Using a red dye for the light conversion lumo panels are covered with soliculture s patented silicon photovoltaic strips.
Nowadays solar modules in black are standard for a single family house.
Coloured solar modules can be perfectly integrated into an existing building.
Homeowners value the way their home looks and our colored solar panels are designed to enhance traditional architecture.
When we add color to a solar panel it becomes less efficient by definition.
Solar modules thus become an optical component of a building.
Some technologies are better at transmitting sunlight through the colored layers than others.
Lumo panels convert green light to red the color that plants use most for growth.
Colored solar panels are manufactured to exceed in energy performance unique aesthetics longevity and design.
Generally this is because the house has a red roof and red solar panels are much less conspicuous.
