Industry - Green energy
Rasing - 1.000.000 EUR
Valuation (pre-money) - 15.000.000 EUR

Solar power in its most beautiful and efficient form – roof tiles for electricity and heat
Targeted total return - 14,07 - 24,26 x
Industry - green energy
Rasing - 1.200.000 EUR
Valuation (pre-money) - 5.500.000 EUR
Solar modules and solar thermal collectors that have been retrofitted dominate the market, but are rejected by many customers. They impair the aesthetics of our houses, create additional areas that are vulnerable to storms and make inadequate use of the available roof area. Roof-integrated photovoltaic systems that are currently available are expensive, complex and not very efficient. In addition, they are not suitable or only partially suitable for historic and listed buildings.
That is now over: We have developed, patented and launched the innovative paXos multi-energy roof : an aesthetic, roof-integrated solar solution that produces solar power and solar heat at the same time .
Our product - the multi-energy roof - serves several billion-dollar markets: the roofing market, the photovoltaic market, the construction industry and the heat and solar thermal market. The multi-energy roof maximizes solar energy production by using previously unused roof areas. It represents a key technology for renewable energy production and makes a significant contribution to sustainable energy supply. We therefore estimate the market potential to be extremely large.
