Glass for Construction Purposes

Photovoltaic Glass VOLTARLUX^®
VOLTARLUX^® Solar Energy Modules are transparent multi-functional facade elements: They can be used in all normal windows in the same way as conventional insulating glass or panel glass units - with one major difference: They also comprise a solar power unit delivering up to 60 kWh per m² per year. A further benefit is their reduction of incident light without the need for additional shade provision. VOLTARLUX^® is available in a variety of versions from semi-transparent to opaque, including a graduated version.

Application

Depending on requirements, VOLTARLUX^® can be used as a curtain wall / cold facade, in an insulating glass facade or as overhead glazing units (supplied with pre-drilled holes for point-fixing on request), to give a host of design options. In addition, VOLTARLUX is an outstandingly effective option for large areas. VOLTARLUX^® enables large areas to be interconnected quickly and safely (standard module size: 576 x 976 mm, available as a standard solar module up to size 1300 x 2500 mm; larger dimensions on request).

Function

The glass is treated with an amorphous silicon layer 50 to 100 times thinner than a human hair, which delivers a near-constant nominal output almost completely independent of ambient temperatures. This means power is generated even on cloudy days.

Benefits

	Power generation even in limited light conditions
	Light-permeable, provides shade
	Flexible applications as curtain wall cold facade or insulating glass facade/overhead glazing
	Can be combined with heat or cold protection, soundproofing or forced-entry protection
	Ideal for large areas: fast and safe interconnection
	As easy to use as conventional functional glass
	The power generated can be fed into the grid network
	Unlimited range of uses
