Roof Integrated Conformable OPV Products for Energy Generation (OPENERGY)
Porto Palace Hotel participates in the project “OPV Products Integration on Roofs for Energy Generation (OPENERGY)” with code Τ2ΕΔΚ-04120, which is materialized in the framework of the action “RESEARCH – CREATE – INNOVATE” and is co-funded by the European Union and national funds, through the “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation” (EPAnEK) Operational Program for the period 2014-2020.
Porto Palace Hotel in cooperation with other stakeholders, such as Organic Electronic Technologies PC (OET) are meant to create “Green” hotels with Renewable Energy Sources, like printed Organic Photovoltaics (TRL7->TR9).
For a “greener” future, making use of solar energy the hotel will revolutionize the energy harvesting, demonstrating the functionality of Printed Organic Photovoltaics produced by OET corporation on umbrellas, tents and shelters at both hotel locations, providing the market with unique products and solutions for solar energy exploitation in the tourism sector.
In the context of this cooperation, Porto Palace Hotel has installed flexible Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) panels of high aesthetics, which are manufactured in all dimensions and can be adapted to all surfaces, were placed on Porto Palace Hotel rooftop. What’s more, light weight, low cost and portability are among the benefits of this technology. The installation can either directly charge devices (such as mobile phones, laptops), bring energy by off-grid interactive design by battery backup, or in On-grid interactive design for highest energy harvesting.
Participating in this action, Porto Palace Hotel harnesses renewable energy sources, connecting its building industrial past with the future of sustainable growth in the hospitality sector.
