BIPV Transparent Glazing |
|
-
Polysolar can source a range of semi-transparent architectural glazingmodules along with its own range of translucent and transparent PV glass systems
-
Glass PV laminates can be applied to windows or skylights providing a semi-transparent facade alloeing light to enter the building and for occupants to look out. The transparency is achieved by a variety of methods:
-
The PV cell is ultra thin or laser ablated so that light can pass through providing either a tinted or patented effect
-
Crystalline solar cells are laminated between glass at different spacing so partial light filters through
-
Glazing modules are available in a range of colours and transparencies so different effects can be created as part of the overall glazing structure. The glazing units can incorporate different glass specifications and can be double-glazed
-
While this type of BIPV can be more expensive than traditional PV panels, it enables a larger proportion of a building's envelope to be covered and provides additional benefits such as shading, thermal and acoutic insulation
