DualSun

DualSun facilitates access to the BEPOS (positive energy building). The company has developed an innovative solar panel that provides both electricity and hot water to homes, on a reduced surface on the roof. Currently, conventional photovoltaic panels store unnecessarily heat. Thanks to its heat exchanger backing the panel, the DualSun recovers this energy to produce domestic hot water in addition to electricity. Thus, the captured energy is used in its entirety.
