Solarbay

edit

Solarbay is the brand name for a glass panoramic roof that utilizes liquid crystal technology. Renault’s Solarbay panoramic roof eliminates the need for a roller blind to darken the interior, offering several benefits.[1][2]

The Solarbay panoramic roof was developed through a collaboration between the automotive company Renault and Saint-Gobain Sekurit. Solarbay was first introduced in the Renault Rafale E-Tech and Scenic E-Tech models. Solarbay uses liquid crystal technology to darken the sunroof.

Additional benefits of the Solarbay panoramic roof:

  • The absence of a sunshade allows for a ceiling that is 3 cm higher, which is especially appreciated by taller passengers.
  • The Solarbay roof weighs 6 to 8 kg less than a traditional sunroof with an electric sunshade.
  • The roof can be darkened with a button near the overhead light, accessible to both the driver and front passenger, or by voice via Google Assistant, allowing control for all passengers, including those in the back.
