“Invisible” solar tiles on historic Évora palace capture Portuguese media attention

The 15th-century Palace of the Counts of Sortelha in Évora now features around 3,350 “invisible” solar tiles made from recyclable resin, designed to look like traditional materials while generating energy. Completed in early 2024, this upgrade has transformed the building into a solar power plant with a peak capacity of 25 kilowatts.

The innovative project has quickly captured widespread attention in Portuguese media, with numerous mentions in online newspapers and news reports listed below:

• Jornal de Negócios;
• CNN Portugal;
• Executive Digest;
• Aeiou.pt;
• Viseu World News.
