PHOTOVOLTAIC GLASS FOR BUILDINGS

Onyx Solar is the world’s leading manufacturer of transparent photovoltaic (PV) glass for buildings. Onyx Solar uses photovoltaic glass as a material for buildings with the aim of capturing the sunlight and turning it into electricity. The panes are made of layers of heat-treated safety glass which can provide the same thermal and acoustic insulation as conventional architectural glass while letting natural light through in the same way. Thus, the photovoltaic glass+glass panes could be installed replacing conventional glass on building facades, curtain walls, atriums, canopies and terrace floors, among other architectural applications.

By providing the same thermal insulation as conventional glass, along with the capacity to generate free and clean electricity from the sun, it enables buildings to drastically improve their energy efficiency, decrease operation and maintenance costs, and reduce their carbon footprint.
