6 FAQs about Tiled Solar PV Production

Are solar roof tiles a good way to capture solar energy?

Solar roof tiles offer a new way to capture solar energy on roofs. We explore some of its characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages.

How many solar roof tiles will be made in 2025?

The production line will manufacture a total of 4,000 solar roof tiles using the matrix shingle technology. Since March 2025, the company has produced the first 800 and is currently installing the roof systems into five existing buildings in Switzerland.

How many solar roof tiles will freesuns produce?

The flexible, automated production allows Freesuns to produce its newly developed matrix shingle roof tiles on a pilot scale before moving into mass production. The production line will manufacture a total of 4,000 solar roof tiles using the matrix shingle technology.

What is the difference between solar tiles and photovoltaic panels?

Solar tiles operate identically to the photovoltaic panels that are already widely used in construction. The primary difference between them lies in their assembly: whereas photovoltaic panels are attached to an existing roof, solar tiles are part of the roof's construction from the start, taking the place of regular tiling.

How do solar tiles work?

Solar tiles operate identically to the photovoltaic panels that are already widely used in construction.

How does freesuns make matrix shingle solar roof tiles?

The flexible, automated production allows Swiss project partner Freesuns to produce its newly developed matrix shingle roof tiles on a pilot scale before moving into mass production. The 450 x 510 mm Freesuns matrix shingle solar roof tile consists of a glass-glass module with TOPCon solar cells. Image: Fraunhofer ISE/Sophia Baechle
