SUNRISE Solar has launched a new building brick that integrates solar technologies into traditional construction materials.
The Solar Light Brick is able to capture the sun’s rays and convert them to energy to power a light embedded within the brick, without the need to connect to the electrical grid.
The solar brick incorporates solar cells, an energy storage device and a crystal lighting system that surrounds the energy module in a square or rectangle.
The light is made from boro-silicon glass and fitted into the brick by a stainless steel fastener and waterproof silica gel sealing washer. The high efficiency solar cell generates no carbon emissions, making it entirely clean technology.
Potential applications for this technology include fixed public spaces, bridges, rural airfields, building lighting, safety lights and decorative lighting.
