Solar power can be generated through a wide variety of applications. Architectonically appealing building-integrated photovoltaic systems (BIPV) now play an increasingly important role:

"Photovoltaic systems must be successfully integrated within the overall architecture; they must not look as though they have been added on"

"Something that looks good sells better" (Dieter Schempp, Architect, LOG ID Planning Group)

Thanks to the Renewable Energies Act (EEG) grid-connected systems now account for the lion's share of all applications in Germany. The diverse range of products available run from solar power systems for individual housing through to solar power-generating glazing for cladding entire buildings. The multiple advantages of building-integrated solar power glazing (thermal insulation, protection against the weather, overheating, noise, etc.) are now attracting a growing number of users.

Transparent solar power glazing is a particularly attractive product for clients looking for building elements which allow the passage of light and preserve contact with the outside world whilst also providing sufficient protection against sun and overheating.

Opaque solar power glazing has many advantages when non-transparent facades and roofs are required to double up as power providers.

VOLTARLUX^® offers a wide choice of applications for both cases.

VOLTARLUX^® can be used for pre-suspended cold or warm facades, light roofs or conservatory glazing (supplied with drilled holes for point holders if required).

VOLTARLUX^® is perfect for both smaller surfaces (e.g. conservatories) and large areas (e.g. subway roof glazing, New York).

The work we have already completed may provide inspiration for your own VOLTARLUX^® project.
