Terran said the partners were awarded HUF 422 mln in support for the project from the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund. Terran and BME are developing a modular system that allows existing solar tile roofs to be expanded easily and damaged tiles to be replaced piece by piece.
A prototype of a terracotta-colored solar tile that will complement the company's existing black Generon-brand tiles has already been made. The three-year project will finish in November.
Terran sold over 100,000 Generon tiles last year, the company said. It can turn out around 550,000 of the solar tiles a year.
The firm had net sales revenue of HUF 19.4 billion in 2021, according to public records.
