The Solarbay® darkening panoramic glass roof in Renault Rafale measures 1 m² and darkens and lightens on demand. Vary the light levels and adjust for thermal comfort using a button on the overhead console or voice command through Google Assistant¹. It darkens fully when the vehicle is locked and when you return it automatically reverts to its previous setting.

All light, all dark, dimmed only at the rear, or dimmed only at the front. To control Solarbay® with Google Assistant¹, say “Hey Google, open/close Solarbay” or “Hey Google, open/close Solarbay at the front/rear”. Even when the roof is darkened, you can still enjoy natural light.
innovative tech packed into 1 m²
Solarbay® is the result of joint development by Renault Group and Saint-Gobain. Using AmpliSky technology its system uses layers and PDLC* film sandwiched in the glass that react to an electric current. Saint-Gobain provides the glass roof and electronic system.
