Solar panels that look like stone, brick, glass, or wood facade turns homes into power generators

Solar panel enthusiasts now have the means to turn almost any vertical surface into a source of power. For urban dwellers with little or no access to a rooftop or garden, Mitrex’s new systems makes it possible to bring solar power to almost any home. The Canadian solar experts created a building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) material that looks like a regular stone, brick, glass, or wood facade. Capable of matching almost any design, the material provides architects and government planners with near limitless options for integrating solar panels into new or existing structures.
