Unlike traditional solar panels, these systems integrate seamlessly into glass facades, making them ideal for modern shopping centers.

Key Benefits for Commercial Buildings

• Energy savings: Reduce grid dependency by 30–50% annually.
• Aesthetic flexibility: Customize transparency, colors, and patterns.
• Lower carbon footprint: Meet Cameroon’s Green Building Certification standards.
