This canopy is made up of 3 different sizes of trapezoidal mono-crystalline glasses with a coloured PVB layer inside that bring a colourful appearance. It has been provided 9 trapezoidal coloured glass units of 1,400x1,847 mm and 4 trapezoidal blue glass units of 2,554x1,457 mm (installed in the corners of the structure).

 

Each PV glass units also incorporates a 12 mm air chamber that improves the thermal comfort of the users while generating clean and free energy that will reduce the energy bill of the house. 

 

 

 

 

Each glass was designed and manufactured totally customized for the client that brings an astonishing appearance to the canopy with a layout that combines different colours in a photovoltaic mosaic that brings a really colourful shade and shelter to its users.
