Range of Photovoltaic technologies

Insulating thermal and acoustic glass

Onyx Solar has developed a wide range of photovoltaic glass specifically designed for installation in buildings. The photovoltaic properties allow this glasses to generate electricity even in those buildings where the orientation and inclination is not at its optimum (for example: north façade).

1. It is not a traditional photovoltaic module designed for ground installation. It has been designed specially as safety glass for buildings in order to comply with the Technical Code of the Building.
2. It is available in different thicknesses, sizes and grades of transparency.
3. It works in all weather conditions, including low light and cloudy conditions.
4. It produces low cost electricity (kWh), allowing lower capital investment and increased output per rated watt.
5. It is environmentally friendly and has a shorter energy payback period (the amount of time it takes to generate enough energy to equal the energy used to produce it) than traditional photovoltaic modules.
6. It is frameless and has a uniform colour that is aesthetically appealing. It is ideal for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and other high-visibility applications.
