The electrical power generated can be used either directly in the building where it is installed or it can be ‘sold’ to an existing energy supplier.
The PV-cells used in Alwitra’s Evalon®-Solar system consist of layers of amorphous silicone deposited on a stainless steel substrate and pick up grid, combined into modules which are then integrated with the Evalon® single ply roofing membrane.
Evalon®-Solar from ICB is so advanced that a distinguished panel of architects, designers and engineers, gave it a special award for innovation in September 2006. It will generate clean sustainable electricity capable of meeting many of the energy needs of supermarkets, major retailers and other commercial operations.
In simplistic terms ICB Evalon®-Solar is electricity on a roll. In reality the product consists of one of the most advanced single ply waterproofing membranes with encapsulated photovoltaic cells.
It is already meeting some of the energy needs for a wide range of customers across the UK including many in the public sector such as schools, hospitals and local authority buildings.
It is now set to do the same in the commercial market.
