Biosolar panels represent an innovative solution in the field of energy efficient and ecofriendly buildings. They combine solar technologies such as photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors with living ecosystems, creating sustainable structures capable of generating energy while contributing to biodiversity conservation. Biosolar panels are gaining popularity in many countries, especially in large cities striving to reduce building carbon footprints and improve environmental quality. Their applications include commercial buildings, residential complexes, and public institutions. Notable projects include the “Daramu house” in Sydney consisting of a green roof and solar panels, and the “Guardian Building” in Saint Paul, which uses smart sensors to optimize energy efficiency, and other smaller projects that will be mentioned in the article. Research projects actively explore new technologies for biosolar roofs or facades. One example is the study of integrated biotic systems and solar panels, which has the potential to enhance the efficiency of a system. This paper focuses on defining biosolar panels, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, providing an overview of their global utilization, and finally showcasing significant projects and research in this field.
