ARCADIA UNIVERSITY · PENNSYLVANIA, USA
Onyx Solar has integrated a custom-designed photovoltaic canopy at Arcadia University’s new campus building in Pennsylvania. This innovative canopy provides shaded outdoor spaces while seamlessly blending into the building’s design. The installation features monocrystalline silicon glass modules in two different sizes, creating a visually striking mosaic pattern. The canopy generates 4.8 kWh of clean energy annually, reducing the university’s carbon footprint by preventing the release of 3.2 tons of CO2 and saving the equivalent of 3 barrels of oil per year.
The selection of photovoltaic glass for this project was ideal, as it not only enhances energy production but also meets the architectural and environmental demands of the university. The durability and efficiency of the monocrystalline glass ensure long-lasting performance, while its aesthetic flexibility allows it to merge beautifully with the building’s contemporary design.
Arcadia University, founded in 1853, serves over 4,000 students and is recognized for its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
"Onyx Solar® has equipped Arcadia University with an integrated photovoltaic sunshade which has awoken a greater environmental conscience among the students. Onyx™ has done a great job and we recommend them for any project including innovative, high-quality solutions for photovoltaic integration”.
