Solar panel ceramic tile is a tile made of synthetic materials (engineering materials), which is combined with solar panel through automatic installation process to form a tile with photovoltaic power generation function.

Three functions of solar panel ceramic tile: heat insulation, waterproof and power generation

a. The high-efficiency thermal insulation solar panel ceramic tile realizes the integration with the building roof, uses the solar visible light to generate electricity, converts about 20% of the solar energy into electric energy, reduces the accumulation of heat on the building roof, and greatly reduces the heat transmitted to the building insulation layer and indoor by more than 20%.

This is unmatched by any kind of thermal insulation material. Therefore, in high temperature weather in summer, the thermal insulation effect of photovoltaic ceramic tile is very obvious. It can greatly reduce the use frequency of air conditioning and reduce building power consumption. It has the dual effects of production capacity and energy saving. It is an ideal choice for building energy conservation and a new generation of green building materials.

b. The primary waterproof photovoltaic ceramic tile has good primary waterproof performance. Photovoltaic ceramic tiles ensure that the tiles have good waterproof function in general stormy weather through professional overlapping corner, waterproof line and wind line design.

Therefore, the photovoltaic ceramic tile roof has good primary waterproof performance. In stormy weather, due to the characteristics of strong wind vacuum pumping, secondary waterproof treatment needs to be done at the lower layer of the roof, mainly to prevent the vacuum caused by the free flow of strong wind in the roof and make the rainwater pour back into the roof.

c. Photovoltaic ceramic tiles that can generate electricity perfectly combine solar panels with ceramic tiles with hollowed out platform, and have the power generation function of solar panels on the basis of maintaining the original architectural style of the building. Taking the photovoltaic ceramic tile of 16W / piece as an example, the power generation can reach 85W / m2.

Four characteristics of photovoltaic ceramic tile: long, high, light and clean

a. Long life. Photovoltaic ceramic tiles are used for roof construction, with a service life of more than 50 years. Since the water penetration rate of photovoltaic ceramic tile is less than 0.5%, which is one tens of times that of ordinary building tiles, it is difficult for water to penetrate into the interior of the tiles, so that the service life of the tiles will not be shortened due to the expansion of water in the interior of the tiles in cold weather.

Due to the unique formula of anti ultraviolet radiation, the tiles will not age rapidly due to strong ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, compared with ordinary building tiles, photovoltaic ceramic tiles have about three times the service life, greatly reduce the frequency of tile replacement in the building life cycle, save material cost and manual replacement cost, and have good economic value.

b. High strength. The bending strength of photovoltaic ceramic tile is up to 5000n, which is more than 3 times that of ordinary building tile. At the same time, because the photovoltaic module of photovoltaic ceramic tile adopts 3.2mm low iron tempered glass, it can resist the beating of heavy objects such as hail and will not be damaged.

At the same time, due to its high strength, it also has a very low damage rate in the process of tile transportation and handling, which reduces the loss of tiles in the process of transportation and installation, and has better economic value for traders, installers and customers.

c. Light weight. The unique formula of photovoltaic ceramic tiles makes the tiles with the same area only 2 / 3 of the weight of ordinary building tiles, which can not only reduce the transportation cost, but also reduce the pressure of tiles on the roof. At the same time, due to the reduction of weight, the tiles also have the typical characteristics of green building materials: high performance, low material consumption and good durability.

d. The production process is energy-saving and environment-friendly. Photovoltaic ceramic tile is pressed and formed by its own chemical reaction under the temperature below 300 ℃ through a special mold. It has the characteristics of fast reaction speed, easy forming, low energy consumption and reducing clay consumption.

At the same time, there is no discharge of “three wastes” in the production process. It is a highly energy-saving and environmental protection production process, which is of great significance to protect natural resources and reduce pollution emission.

Before we talked about its characteristics, now let’s look at its advantages.

1. Functional integration and innovation. It is not only tile green building materials, but also photovoltaic power generation equipment. It perfectly combines solar panels with building tiles to replace ordinary building tiles, which can protect against wind and rain, but also has the power generation function of solar panels;

2. Green, energy-saving and power generation. The photovoltaic ceramic tile roof per square meter has a power generation power of about 70-100w, and the solar light can be used to generate 70-150kwh AC power every year. It has the dual effects of saving and generating electricity, and integrates building energy conservation and renewable energy utilization.

It is not only an efficient and energy-saving green building material, but also a power generation equipment for the development and utilization of solar energy resources. It has revolutionary significance for building energy conservation and building a green building.

3. Green building materials with environmentally friendly production process. Through the specially formulated ceramic materials, the effects of no sintering, low-temperature pressing and forming and increasing tile strength are realized. The production process has low energy consumption and no pollution, which is especially in line with the environmental protection concept of recycling after use in European and American countries.

4. High performance, low material consumption and good durability. The product has high strength, up to 5000n, low water seepage rate, which is one tenth of that of ordinary tiles, 0.5%. It has long service life, which is much higher than that of ordinary tiles, up to more than 50 years. It is light, 2 / 3 of the weight of ordinary tiles, only 3.2kg. It is an energy-saving material with high performance, good durability and recycling.

5. Conform to architectural aesthetics. On the one hand, as tile building materials, it can be set on all kinds of roofs together with traditional tile materials. On the other hand, due to the production of molds, many auspicious patterns and wishes on tiles in line with the customs and habits of all countries and peoples can be added, so as to realize the integration with the building as a whole, realize the perfect integration, aestheticize the power generation function and expand the tile function.

6. Ensure the quality of life. Solar panel ceramic tile roof, which uses sunlight to generate electricity, can be stored through battery to provide guarantee power for lighting, monitoring camera equipment, various sensors and other modern intelligent living equipment, free from natural disasters and power outages, and ensure the quality of life.

7. Strong damage resistance. Due to its excellent product performance, the photovoltaic ceramic tile has strong resistance to high and low temperature extreme weather, especially to the weather test of large temperature difference between day and night and frequent frost, rain and snow weather, so as to ensure the service life of the product and strong ability to withstand the damage of man-made and natural disasters.

8. Extremely low logistics loss rate. Due to the high strength, light weight and low loss during transportation and installation, it can reduce the loss of traders and dealers and increase their profit level.

9. Excellent cost performance. Compared with solar panels made of PR, asphalt and resin in the international market, photovoltaic ceramic tiles have obvious cost comparative advantages, and their performance advantages are more obvious at the same cost.
