ELIPSE TOWER DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

 

Onyx Solar has installed a vertical photovoltaic glass fin in the luxurious 15-story Elipse Tower that is located in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic.

 

The 336.5 m² photovoltaic installation has been made of Dark triple laminated amorphous silicon glass in sizes 989x1621 and 989x720 mm.

 

 Data:

• Total Area - 336.5 M²
• Electricity generated in 35 years  - 279.422 kWh
• Total lighting points operating 4 hours per day in 35 years - 548 lighting points
•  CO₂ emissions avoided in 35 years - 187 Tons of CO₂
• Barrels of oil saved in 35 years - 164 barrels per m²

 

 

Example of a feasibility study of amorphous silicon photovoltaic façade in Santo Domingo:

 

•  Payback time  < 5.3 years

•  Internal rate of return (IRR)  29.3 %

 

The photovoltaic glass allows the building to produce clean and free energy while maintaining a very carefully designed aesthetic without the need to add solar panels on its roof.

  

 

 

Thanks to this photovoltaic fin, the emission of 187 tons of Co₂ into the atmosphere will be avoided and a total of 279,422 kWh will be produced.

 

The Elipse Tower is an apartment building, with an approximate height of more than 70 meters, located in a privileged point of the city.

 

 

 

 

 It stands out for the impressive and magnificent panoramic view of the entire coast of the Caribbean Sea that, together with its modernist and sustainable design, make this building the new icon of downtown Santo Domingo.

 

Its luxurious facilities make the Elipse Tower a unique space to live up the highest expectations.
