Poland-based ML System has launched PhotonRoof, a BIPV solar tile designed to combine photovoltaic generation with traditional roofing aesthetics. Available in three design lines and multiple finishes, the system targets residential, commercial, and heritage projects requiring high architectural integration.
Poland-based building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) module manufacturer ML System has launched a new solar tile designed for buildings where architectural aesthetics are a key consideration.
“Designed to match conventional tiles in size, thickness, and appearance, they combine timeless roofing aesthetics with advanced solar technology,” a spokesperson from the company told pv magazine. “The Vintage and Modern series are available in three colors, while the Nature line replicates the natural appearance of wood shingles, Alpine slate, and copper roofing.”
Each product line was developed to meet different architectural requirements, from contemporary buildings to heritage renovations, according to the manufacturer.
“The Modern Line features flat, geometric profiles tailored to minimalist and contemporary architecture,” the spokesperson went on to say. “The Vintage Line recreates the appearance of traditional beavertail tiles, making it suitable for restoration projects and buildings where a classic roof aesthetic is required. The Nature Line combines photovoltaic performance with textured surfaces inspired by natural materials, including slate, wood shingles, and copper roofing.”
