From Greenhouses to Cities: How Brite Solar Brings Photovoltaics to Urban Life
Solar energy no longer belongs only on rooftops.
Brite Solar, a pioneer in Agri-PV (agricultural photovoltaics), is now taking the next bold step
bringing photovoltaic innovation into the city.
The company, known for its patented nanotechnology in agricultural applications, now extends its philosophy of dual light and energy utilization into urban environments from public and municipal buildings to homes and city infrastructure.
Brite Solar’s vision is clear: to make clean energy part of the everyday urban landscape.
The Vision: Smarter, Energy-Autonomous Cities
The global energy transition is not only about producing renewable power it’s about integrating energy generation directly into architecture.
Brite Solar supports this transition through architectural photovoltaic applications that combine technology, sustainability, and aesthetics.
📍 Goal:
Enable cities to generate part of their own energy through buildings, bus stops, schools, parks, and public spaces.
This is the future of urban photovoltaics cities that produce the energy they consume.
Where Brite Solar’s Photovoltaics Fit in the City
The new generation of semi-transparent solar panels and energy glass developed by Brite Solar provides both functional and aesthetic solutions for modern architecture.
🏛️ Public and Municipal Buildings
Used as energy-producing façades, atriums, or glass canopies,
they reduce operational costs while maintaining natural light.
🏫 Schools and Educational Facilities
Installed as shading elements or sound-reducing glass barriers,
they help lower the heating load in classrooms and provide a safer, more comfortable environment.
🏟️ Sports & Cultural Centers, Bus Stops, Waiting Areas
As solar roofs or pergolas, they offer shade, comfort, and clean electricity ideal for community spaces.
🏠 Residential Buildings
In balconies or terraces, semi-transparent panels can replace glass railings or roof glazing, combining privacy, protection, and power generation.
🌳 Public Parks & Parking Areas
Deployed as solar shelters with EV-charging capability,
they help cities move toward carbon-neutral mobility.
Each project is customized to fit the design, energy needs, and aesthetics of the location combining energy autonomy with architectural harmony.
How Semi-Transparent Solar Panels Work
Unlike conventional opaque modules, Brite Solar’s semi-transparent panels allow natural light to pass through while converting part of solar radiation into electricity.
The transparency level is adjusted according to the project’s purpose from higher visibility in façades to more shading in roofs or pergolas.
The arrangement of solar cells within the glass creates a precise balance between light, shading, and efficiency.
🔹 Advantages
- Reduce indoor heat and cooling costs
- Generate renewable electricity on-site
- Integrate seamlessly into modern architecture
- Certified for safety, durability, and performance
- Lifespan of over 25 years
- Function as sunshades and weather protection systems
These features make them ideal for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) in cities.
Greek Manufacturing | Industry in Patras
From Q4 2025, Brite Solar’s new factory in the Patras Industrial Zone produce the next generation of photovoltaic panels.
With an annual capacity of 150 MWp, expandable to 300 MWp, this facility marks Greece’s emergence as a hub for green industrial innovation with global reach.
From Agri-PV to Architectural Sustainability
The same know-how that transformed how we produce food and energy is now redefining how we design cities.
Photovoltaics have evolved from simple energy devices to architectural materials
technological surfaces that combine light, power, and beauty.
Brite Solar continues to invest in solutions that merge energy efficiency with modern design, helping shape urban environments with zero-energy footprints.
