BRIGHT POWER · THE BRONX, NEW YORK
Located in the Bronx, across from the St. Barnabas Hospital campus, this project features two residential towers separated by a landscaped terrace atop a mixed-use base. Together, the 11-story and 7-story towers offer 181 affordable apartments, encompassing approximately 187,000 square feet of residential space, with sustainable energy at the core of the design.
The north tower includes a photovoltaic canopy using Onyx Solar’s crystalline silicon glass, installed to generate clean energy for the building. A total of 44 photovoltaic glass units, have been integrated into the canopy. Each unit measures 1,977 x 1,009 mm, with an individual power capacity of 291W. The complete system reaches a total power capacity of 13 kWp, providing free and renewable energy to support the energy needs of these two residential towers.
This installation exemplifies how photovoltaic technology can be seamlessly integrated into urban developments, offering an eco-friendly solution while enhancing the building's overall performance. The canopy not only provides renewable energy but also serves as an architectural feature that aligns with Bright Power’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
