The Terrán has taken a big step towards sustainability and environmental protection with the Generon solar roof system, which provides clean energy to meet the electricity needs of families without compromise. The company has made it its undisguised aim to help create an attitude that can make us all more aware of the need to take action for the environment on an individual level.

The creation of the Generon solar roof system represents one of the most important steps taken by Terrán in the interest of environmental protection, as it covers the electricity needs of families with green energy. Thanks to domestic production, the products have a much shorter journey, which is also less harmful to the environment.

Bright and resistant

Every year, more and more solar panels are being installed around the world, and here at home, the Terrán solar roof system, which is over a hundred years old, offers its own solution for sustainability and green energy production. The Generon solar roof system is made using certified materials that have been widely used and proven in the solar industry for decades.

The solar panel built into the surface of the roof tile (IN-ROOF) is a unique system solution for both the roof tile and the solar system. The solar modules are attached to the surface of the roof tiles using a special fastening system, so that the installation and appearance of the Generon is almost identical to that of conventional roof tiles.

Each tile of the Generon solar roof system acts as a separate solar panel, so it can both protect and harness the sun's energy. It does not require a separate support structure, it does not need to break through the roof sheathing, so it does not lose its protective function, and the waterproofing of the system is perfectly guaranteed. The solar roof system does not cause a significant increase in the load on the roof. As the Generon blends perfectly into the roof plane and its surroundings, it offers a unique, premium aesthetic overall appearance.

Climate change is producing more and more extreme phenomena, so durability is an important issue: the Generon solar roof system is highly resistant to hail and wind. The tempered glass panels provide excellent protection against mechanical impacts.

Does not overheat and produces in cloudy weather

In all cases, it is necessary to create a ventilated air gap behind the constructed tile shells, where the warming air is exhausted by the principle of the horn effect and replaced by air at the same temperature as the ambient air. In the case of Terrán Generon, a ventilated air gap of at least 7,5 cm behind the built-in tile shells is required. This air layer can be achieved by placing counter-bats between the underlay and the tiles. The air circulating in this air gap provides a sufficiently intense cooling effect so that the Generon does not overheat in the summer heat. In cloudy weather, the solar panels can operate at partial load with an efficiency of up to 50-90%.

The Generon can also be used very effectively on segmented roofs, as each tile functions as a solar panel.

1 kWp output per 6 square metres

In addition to environmental considerations, it is now also important to be able to decouple ourselves - even if only partially - from volatile and volatile market processes, thus achieving more conscious and affordable consumption. As an approximate estimate, a solar roof system with 1 kWp in an ideal orientation can produce approximately 1100 kWh of electricity.

In Hungary, per capita household electricity consumption is approximately 1,100 kWh/year. This amount of energy can be generated by a 1 kWp Terrán Generon solar panel roof system covering approximately 6 square metres of roof space.

Carbon neutrality is the goal

The Terrán's commitment to sustainability is not only reflected in the Generon solar roof system. A solar farm at the company's Bóly site provides the entire electricity supply for the tile manufacturing plant, while the final phase of the renewable energy sources in Pécs and Kunszentmiklós is currently in its final stages of implementation. The company's declared goal is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, which is a huge step towards sustainability not only in its products but also in its operations.
