FLOOR GOLEGÃ MENDES · GOLEGÃ, PORTUGAL
RENOVATION
Onyx Solar has manufactured and installed innovative photovoltaic floor tiles at the entrance of the Mendes Gonçalves building, one of Portugal's leading companies in the food industry with a significant international presence. This cutting-edge solution combines functionality with sustainability, creating a walkable photovoltaic floor that not only generates clean energy but also enhances the building’s aesthetic appeal.
The photovoltaic system features colored amorphous silicon glass with a non-slip coating, ensuring both safety and efficiency for daily use. Each glass tile measures 298x600 mm and is backlit with green LED strips powered by the energy generated by the floor itself. This unique design adds a modern, visually striking element to the building’s entrance, while simultaneously contributing to its energy independence.
This project showcases how photovoltaic solutions can be seamlessly incorporated into high-traffic areas, transforming them into energy-generating surfaces. It not only reduces the carbon footprint of the building but also demonstrates the potential of walkable photovoltaic floors in modern architecture, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
