This technology is designed to convert sunlight into electricity, but it does not need the traditional solar panels.

Expert group on green energy at the University of Exeter led by renowned scientist H. Beygona and professor of energy resources such as renewable T. Mallika has developed an innovative technique, qualified as photovoltaics to be integrated in the construction.

Structurally Solar Squared is a glass block which are incorporated in solar energy converters. The unit is designed so that lens system focuses the solar flux at the receiving site, where the transformation of the photon flux into electrical energy.

These glass blocks come in a variety of colors and sizes that will fit these products into the walls of any buildings, while maintaining the style.

If the submitted units compared with the classical solar panels, they have an advantage in the sense that no space. After all, the solar panels are mounted mainly on the roofs, and for this reason are mainly used in the private sector. Blocks as well can also be used in dense urban areas.

In term of such blocks together with other similar products, such as solar tile Tesla, it will be possible to erect buildings with zero energy consumption, that is, they (the building) will be provided with electricity through the use of new technology.

This development was carried out together with Glass Block Technology and, in principle, can completely replace the classic blocks in the construction of new homes.

At the moment, the developed technology is implemented only in a prototype and the company Build Solar It hopes to attract investment for further work and the integration of technology into mass production.
