Onyx Solar has designed and developed the photovoltaic skylight and façade for the Cabinet House, located within the renowned MAXXI Museum in Rome, an architectural masterpiece by the legendary Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. The museum was named the best building in the world in 2010, further solidifying Hadid’s influential role in contemporary architecture.
The Cabinet House is a prototype of sustainable living, created with a focus on redefining space to align with modern urban lifestyles. Both the skylight and façade are constructed using advanced amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass, combining aesthetics with functionality. With a total installed power capacity of 645 Wp, these solutions generate approximately 900 kWh of clean, sun-derived energy per year, contributing to the building's energy efficiency and reducing its environmental footprint.
Zaha Hadid, the first woman to win the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004, is known for her bold, futuristic designs. The MAXXI Museum in Rome, alongside other groundbreaking projects such as the BMW headquarters in Germany, exemplifies her innovative approach. The integration of Onyx Solar’s photovoltaic technology into this project reflects the same visionary principles, combining sustainability with cutting-edge design.
The photovoltaic skylight and façade at Cabinet House showcase the potential of renewable energy in modern architecture, reinforcing the importance of eco-friendly solutions in iconic, contemporary buildings.
