THE FAUSTINO WINERY · ALAVA, SPAIN
PHOTOVOLTAIC ROOF · CRYSTALLINE SILICON TECHNOLOGY
NEW CONSTRUCTION
The Faustino Winery, one of the world’s leading producers of Rioja wine, has launched a sustainable expansion at its facilities in Oyón, Spain. In collaboration with renowned architectural firm Foster + Partners, the winery's visitor center features an innovative roof system incorporating monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic glass with a sleek grey front finish, strategically designed to support the winery's commitment to achieving complete energy self-sufficiency.
The installation includes 126 photovoltaic glass units, each measuring 1678 x 986 mm, producing clean energy while seamlessly blending with the aesthetic of the building. This advanced technology ensures that the visitor center consumes only 20% of the energy it generates, with the remaining energy directed to support other areas of the winery complex. Through this innovative installation, Onyx Solar has been instrumental in helping Bodegas Faustino realize its vision for a fully sustainable energy project, marking a milestone in renewable integration in prestigious facilities dedicated to high-quality wine production.
