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.
4 darkening settings
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.
