No, the BIPV photovoltaic glass structurally does not differ from other types of conventional glazing. Therefore, it is integrated into the building envelope (curtain wall, façade, or skylight) like any construction material. What solar control and comfort advantages does photovoltaic glass offer in a curtain wall?
The company’s ‘ solar curtain wall ‘ covered the entire side of a building with plastic solar film encased in glass. This installation was expected to provide 1.5 kW of power. Unfortunately, the company filed for bankruptcy in 2012 but they did help to further the solar power curtain concept. Another option comes from a company called SolarGaps.
They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment. In contrast, a photovoltaic curtain wall not only insulates the building but also generates power for over 30 years. This reduces monthly electricity bills and ultimately pays for itself over time.
Similarly, Onyx Solar’s innovative spandrel glass not only offers a sleek appearance but also generates clean, renewable energy. Traditionally used to cover building structures, our opaque spandrel photovoltaic glass delivers superior energy efficiency with high solar energy yield, thanks to its dense solar cell integration.
