The growing demand for clean energy, combined with urban densification, makes solar facades a key solution for utilizing otherwise unused spaces. In European cities like Berlin, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen, where rooftop space is limited, facades provide an ideal surface for photovoltaic integration.
With over 25 years of experience, companies like Eurener (Spain) has developed products that not only maximize energy efficiency but also offer aesthetics that blend seamlessly with modern architecture. Its Ultra Premium and NEXA panels stand out for their sleek black design, making them an interesting choice for solar facades in projects that seek to combine advanced technology with careful visual appeal.
Solutions also for northern Europe
Eurener's Ultra Premium range panels, with outputs of 400W and 440W, are specifically designed for building facades. Equipped with N-type cells, these panels offer high performance in low-radiation conditions, making them attractive for installation in northern European countries, where diffuse solar radiation is more common. Solar facades with these panels can continue capturing light on cloudy days and maximize energy production year-round.

The new NEXA PV modules use dual-glass technology and an output of up to 450W. This feature adds durability and resistance, essential for facade installations exposed to harsh weather conditions. The dual-glass construction ensures greater longevity in adverse weather conditions such as cold and snow, which is highly relevant for northern European regions.
Despite lower direct radiation in northern Europe, Eurener panels are designed to make the most of the climatic conditions.
Enhance the market value of buildings
Moreover, solar facades have another significant advantage: reduced accumulation of snow and dirt that often affects rooftop installations during the winter months. Facade panels continue capturing sunlight, even when rooftops are covered in snow, ensuring continuous energy production.
