Awarded vertical PV-system for green roofs. Now available with 20 cm and 35 cm spacing from substrate.
Outshines everything
Award-winning green roof PV system from SOLYCO
All the advantages of the green roof are retained
As a German premium manufacturer with over 20 years of experience and the pv magazine Top Innovation Award 2024, we know how solar technology and green roofs work together perfectly.
SOLon uses vertical, bifacial dual glass modules oriented east-west, generating electricity on both sides and preserving the ecological function of the roof.
TOP INNOVATION Award from pv magazine
**Elegant symbiosis for urban climate and climate protection** Limiting climate change with photovoltaics while improving the urban climate with green roofs: SOLYCO’s solution combines these two important goals. The company has developed custom-sized modules that are installed vertically on rooftops. The system requires less ballast and leaves more roof area uncovered than conventional systems, making it suitable even for installation on existing green roofs. For this achievement, the jury awards the distinction *pv magazine highlight top innovation*.

The SOLYCO SOLon system stands for maximum safety and verified quality. With a guaranteed initial output of 99.0% and a performance level of 89.4% after 30 years, the system delivers consistently stable yields over the long term. Mechanically, SOLon has been tested for resilience under a pressure load of 1,000 Pa, making it ideally suited for use on green flat roofs. Electrically, the system also meets the highest standards: the modules are approved for a system voltage of 1,500 V and are equipped with fully potted junction boxes rated IP68, providing reliable protection against moisture and dust. SOLon is designed for long service life on green roofs. The double-glass construction offers particularly effective protection for the sensitive solar cells, which are positioned in the neutral axis of the glass laminate. As a result, under mechanical stress the cells are neither compressed nor stretched, but only bent. All modules are manufactured in certified, highly automated production facilities in accordance with the highest quality standards.
