AMOT BEIT HAVERED · TEL AVIV, ISRAEL
WHITE PHOTOVOLTAIC FAÇADE · CRYSTALLINE SILICON TECHNOLOGY
RENOVATION
Onyx Solar’s groundbreaking white crystalline silicon photovoltaic glass was installed in this building located in Tel Aviv (Israel) as part of a sustainable renovation of an existing office. In this innovative project, Onyx Solar introduced its HIDDEN PV building materials, which cleverly conceals solar cells within the surface of the glass, resulting in a white appearance while keeping the solar cells entirely invisible. This innovation allows for a seamless integration of solar technology into building façades. The glass is available in different colors, including white, corten steel and many others catering to various architectural preferences. In this case the white solar photovoltaic installed in the façade covers around 600 m2 and generates 10% of the building energy needs.
The choice of photovoltaic glass for Amot Beit Havered was particularly well-suited for the building’s aesthetic and functional requirements. The ability to reach 124 Wp per square meter ensures the façade generates substantial energy, reducing dependence on external power sources. With its 0% visible light transmission and solar factor, this glass provides maximum opacity, creating a sleek and modern look while shielding the building from heat gain—a critical factor in Tel Aviv’s warm climate. The result is a façade that not only looks clean and contemporary but also offers excellent thermal insulation, reducing the need for cooling and improving energy efficiency. This innovative use of photovoltaic glass transforms the building into a modern, energy-generating structure without compromising its architectural integrity, making it a prime example of how renewable energy can be harmoniously integrated into urban design.
