PV facades are becoming a popular application for photovoltaic glass in buildings. They allow for owners to generate power from areas of the building they had never thought of. Buildings become a real power plant, keeping their design appeal, aesthetics, efficiency and functionality.

PV Glass for PV facade comes frameless, and it can be assembled into any commercial system. From a mechanical perspective, the glazing contractor will take care of its installation, and then the electrical contractor will interconnect the units.

Different visible light transmittance levels are also an option. A typical PV facade system can combine semi-transparent PV Glass for the vision areas, together with fully dark glass for the spandrel. This strategy contributes to optimizing the energy yield from the elevation, while maintaining unobstructed views.
