WHAT IS A VENTILATED FAÇADE?

A ventilated façade is a dry-installed exterior building envelope system, suitable for both new constructions and renovation projects.

This design creates a space between the building's perimeter wall and the outer cladding, primarily aimed at regulating the exchange of heat, air, and light between the building's interior and exterior environments.

Detail of photovoltaic ventilated façade system

Modern architecture demands innovative, energy-efficient materials for façades and roofs. Addressing these needs, Onyx Solar has developed a photovoltaic ventilated façade and roof system.

Our solar-integrated wall system and energy-generating roof not only enhance aesthetic appeal but also offer superior thermal performance. They produce clean electricity that can be used immediately or fed back into the grid.

This system's thermal barrier can reduce energy consumption, delivering a high internal rate of return (IRR) and fast payback periods.

Innovative design

At Onyx Solar, we create fully customized Photovoltaic Cladding System for every project. These façades enhance both the building's aesthetics and energy independence, making them perfect for new constructions and renovations alike.

Harmful radiation filter

Photovoltaic glass enhances indoor comfort by admitting natural light while blocking harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation. Its optimized solar factor helps maintain a pleasant indoor temperature, making it an ideal choice for improving building environments.

WHY CHOOSE PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR GLASS FOR FAÇADES?

  • Energy-efficient: Integrating photovoltaic glass into façades reduces reliance on external energy by converting sunlight into electricity, all while allowing natural light to illuminate the building's interior.
  • Electricity-Generating Surfaces: Transform typically unused surfaces into energy-producing elements without altering the design.
  • Superior insulation: The PV glass provides excellent thermal insulation for large glass façades, reducing heating and cooling demands and improving energy efficiency across the building.
  • UV and IR protection: Photovoltaic glass shields the building's interior from harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays, enhancing comfort for occupants and protecting interior finishes from sun damage.
  • Durable and sustainable: This glass is designed to be both long-lasting and environmentally friendly, making it an ideal choice for modern façades. It supports sustainable architecture by contributing to reduced carbon emissions and aligning with eco-friendly building practices.
