Due to high albedo from snow, ski resorts are great places to set up solar panels. Sunwind produces curved and extra light solar panels allowing stylish implementation to the infrastructure in ski resorts.

This includes ski lifts and smaller installations such as barriers which are fitted with the panels.

Sunwind produces the eV + solar panel, these are innovative flexible photovoltaic panels that are curved to sick to the sides of ski lift stations. This enables electricity to be produced from the sun, directly consumed by the ski resort. The panels reduce electricity bills while providing clean energy.

Some design specifications which stand out from the average solar panel:

• Their modules are 50% lighter than average

• They contain no glass or aluminium

• fully customizable

• The pannels are integrated into the buildings design

With the rising popularity of Ebikes in Ski resorts, the company is also focusing on solar bike charging stations which double as a bike shed.
