a high-tech glass surface
A joint development by Renault and Saint-Gobain, solarbay® uses Saint-Gobain Sekurit’s AmpliSky® full electronic system. The technology relies on a PDLC film* placed between two glass plates, which, once powered by an electric current, changes the orientation of the liquid crystals. This design allows headroom to be increased by 30 millimetres, improving the aerodynamics of Renault Symbioz E-Tech full hybrid and boosting its driving range as a result.
