PLATIO

Platio is an unconventional, primarily outdoor energy producing, modular paving system optionally equipped with information technological functions. Platio provides an aesthetic and space-saving off-grid renewable energy system by integrating high-performance solar cells into attractive sidewalk paving elements made of recycled plastic. Electricity generated during sunshine hours can be stored by energy saving units or be used to operate functions integrated into the pavement or nearby electric devices of public places (public lighting, traffic control systems, other energy consuming street contrivances) independently from the grid.
