12 kg/m².
Made in Germany
The substructure is manufactured in Germany.
pv magazine TOP INNOVATION
Award 2024
In 2024, SOLon was named a TOP INNOVATION by pv magazine. The reasoning: the system combines photovoltaics and green roofs in an elegant way, requires less ballast, leaves more roof area uncovered and can also be used on existing green roofs.
The smarter E AWARD 2026
Finalist
In addition, SOLYCO SOLon35 – Vertical PV System for Green Roofs by SOLYCO Solar was nominated as a finalist for The smarter E AWARD 2026 in the Photovoltaics category.
Power when buildings need it
Distinctive annual yield profile with vertical PV
SOLon generates a particularly valuable yield profile with a higher share in the morning, afternoon and winter periods.
In the winter months, the sun is lower, while bifacial modules can additionally use reflected light from roof surfaces. This creates a PV profile that is not only designed for maximum summer midday yields, but distributes power generation more broadly across the day and the year.
Dual-peak generation
Particularly usable power is generated in the morning and afternoon, ideal for heat-pumps.
Winter power
A low sun angle can benefit vertical modules during the winter months.
Albedo effect
Bifacial modules utilise reflected light from roof surfaces and the surrounding area.
Less snow effect
Vertical modules tend to remain free from snow, hail, shading and soiling.
In four steps from roof sketch to installation
Getting started with SOLon is this easy:
3.
Consultation & detailed design
In a personal consultation, we will work together to optimise the most economical configuration.
2.
Get preliminary planning
We will create an initial, non-binding design with performance and area estimates for your roof.
4.
Implementation with specialist partners
Our specialist partners will install it - or you can become a SOLon installer or dealer yourself.
