Maxeon - the best cells for colored BIPV
Maxeon cells set the standard for solar efficiency with a solid copper foundation for unmatched strength and durability. The ultra-pure silicon and unique light-trapping surface enhance power conversion and capture sunlight, ensuring maximum energy output. The electrical architecture mitigates shade impact and hot-spot formation, ideal for BIPV-applications. The fully black surface offers a superior, uniform canvas for any aesthetic or colored solution.
Mismatch prevention
Kameleon Solar is the industry leader when it comes to color matching, ensuring perfect harmony between PV modules and their surroundings. Beyond appearance, we also prioritize safety by verifying that all cells are exposed to the same quantity of light, eliminating fire hazards during use.

Glass/glass
Lifespan
Glass/glass solar panels offer an impressive expected lifespan of ~ 50 years, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance. Their robust construction withstands harsh conditions, providing lasting value and efficiency. Invest in quality with panels designed to endure for decades.
Quality
We are committed to delivering the highest quality by using premium materials and performing extensive in-house quality tests. By ensuring durability and reliability, we create products that are built to last, providing long-term value and preventing the need for early replacement.
Some IEC norms that apply to custom-made modules:
- IEC 61215 | Design qualifications and type approvement
- IEC 61730 | Module safety qualification
Some building norms that apply to BIPV-applications include:
- EN 14449 | Glass in building - Laminated glass and laminated safety glass
- EN 12600 | Resistance against impact
Some of our quality controls include:
- Batch color consistency (avoids unwanted checkered facades and power mismatch)
- Mismatch prevention software for translating multi-colored images to PV modules (prevents fire hazards from hotspots)
- Mismatch detection in multicolored modules
- Quality inspection below the graphic layer
- Degradation and aging tests for coloring agents
That's why we conduct the following checks on every single module:
- High potential test
- I-V measurement (Flash test)
- Electroluminescence image (EL-test)
- Color measurement
In addition to these, we have several other built-in quality checks that ensure the highest standards. You're more than welcome to visit our factory in Roosendaal to see these qaulity processes in action.
If a particular certification doesn’t appear, please contact us, and we can explore extending our certification to include your chosen design. We are committed to ensuring that your project meets all necessary standards and safety requirements.
Safety
We prioritize safety by conducting rigorous testing and adhering to strict standards, ensuring that our PV modules are reliable, secure, and meet the highest safety requirements for your peace of mind.
Hotspots can develop when different colors in a module lead to uneven electrical performance, creating areas of intense heat. These hotspots are a serious fire hazard, even in robust glass-glass modules.
Kameleon Solar's design translation software meticulously avoids mismatch, ensuring a uniform and safe module. This is why we offer a mismatch-free guarantee, prioritizing safety in every module we create.
For fire safety, the following building norms and IEC norms typically apply:
- EN 13501 | Fire test for building materials
- IEC 61730 | Module safety qualification
