Coloured photovoltaic panels: why choose them

The use of coloured photovoltaic panels to integrate energy efficiency and aesthetics

Coloured photovoltaic panels represent a new frontier in solar energy. Combining sustainability and design, they allow renewable energy to be integrated into architectural, historical and landscape contexts where aesthetics are paramount. In this article we will discover why the use of coloured modules is increasing compared to traditional ones, where they can be used, what types are available and how Trienergia meets these needs with innovative products.
 

Features and benefits of coloured photovoltaic modules

Coloured photovoltaic modules are an innovative alternative to conventional modules, available in shades of red, white and green. The glass of the photovoltaic module does not use coloured adhesive films, which are prone to deterioration, but instead incorporates hardened pigments directly into the glass. This ensures greater durability and ideal finishes for unique architectural designs. They are perfect for those seeking a balance between aesthetics and functionality, adapting to different visual requirements.

In particular, coloured photovoltaic panels offer unique advantages such as

  • Architectural and landscape integration: one of the main advantages of coloured photovoltaic panels is their ability to integrate harmoniously with the architecture of buildings and their surroundings. For example, in a villa with a red tiled roof, the installation of photovoltaic panels with red cells and frames allows aesthetic consistency to be maintained, avoiding visual contrasts and respecting the architectural style.
  • Adapting to landscape and urban planning regulations in historic centres: Many historic buildings and districts are subject to regulations that limit external changes in order to preserve their cultural and architectural value. Coloured photovoltaic panels offer a practical solution to these restrictions, allowing the use of solar energy without altering the historic appearance. By using panels that mimic the colours and finishes of traditional roofing materials, solar energy can be integrated while respecting the historic aesthetics of the building.
  • Customisation: coloured panels can be installed not only on roofs but also on facades, offering visually innovative and bespoke solutions. This design flexibility not only enhances the aesthetic appearance of buildings, but can also increase their value, making them more attractive to potential buyers and tenants.
     

These benefits make coloured photovoltaic panels a particularly good choice for those seeking a balance between aesthetics and functionality.
 

Applications and types of Trienergia coloured photovoltaic panels

Trienergia offers coloured photovoltaic panels suitable for different contexts, from historical buildings to modern architecture. The different types, combined with a modular system, make it possible to satisfy specific aesthetic and functional requirements.
 

  • Red and tile coloured photovoltaic panels: these are ideal for harmonising with brick or tile roofs, typical of historic Italian buildings and conservation areas. These coloured photovoltaic modules reproduce the appearance of traditional roof tiles while preserving the aesthetic integrity of old buildings. The use of red panels is particularly suitable for renovations in historic centres or areas with landscape restrictions, as they blend perfectly with the characteristic colour of old roofs.

  • Green photovoltaic panels: these are designed to blend in with environments characterised by abundant vegetation, such as gardens, parks or buildings with green facades. Green panels can be an effective solution both in historic or listed buildings, where it is important to preserve the traditional appearance, and in modern environments, such as high-rise buildings with green facades, where the colours of the vegetation are used to ensure an ideal aesthetic integration. However, it is important to ensure that plants do not cast shadows on the panels so as not to reduce the efficiency of the system.

  • White photovoltaic panels: these modules are particularly suitable for buildings with modern or minimalist facades, where a clean, sober appearance is essential. They are often used in contemporary architectural contexts such as offices, showrooms or designer homes, as they integrate perfectly with light surfaces to create a uniform visual effect.
