The canopy is made up of 320 glass modules made entirely to measure for the project. Said modules are of safety 8 mm + 8 mm laminated glass measuring 1,943 mm x 1,016 mm (6.37" x 3.33"), and are perfectly integrated into the building, in accordance with the aesthetics specified by the client.
The total installed power capacity is 34 kWp, and it is capable of generating 58,000 kWh per year, sufficient power to feed the 3,300 lights in the building and to prevent the release of 38 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
The glass also features a ceramic screen print on its reverse side, which filters out the harmful solar radiation while providing the glass with a uniform design.
