Problem
Conventional solar panel installations often require dedicated rooftop space, limiting adoption in urban environments and buildings with space constraints. This underutilization of available surfaces hinders the widespread integration of renewable energy sources in densely populated areas.
Solution
Solum offers a solar pavement solution that transforms outdoor surfaces, such as terraces, rooftops, and parking areas, into energy-generating assets. The "Arena" solar tile system functions as both a technical flooring solution and a photovoltaic generator, enabling self-consumption of solar energy without sacrificing usable space. These tiles seamlessly integrate into existing outdoor areas, converting previously unused surfaces into active energy producers. Solum also provides solar-powered charging stations for personal mobility vehicles, along with management software for monitoring energy production and consumption.
Target Audience
Target customers include real estate developers, promoters, and property owners looking to integrate renewable energy solutions into their buildings and outdoor spaces.
