healthpeak's callan ridge campus

 

Designed with the finesse that defines Onyx Solar, its BIPV (Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics) solutions grace the Healthpeak Callan Ridge Campus in San Diego, California, with an unparalleled architectural marvel: a photovoltaic canopy.

 

This technological marvel, which fuses sunlight with aesthetics, adorns the campus sky with a glass dome that captures the very essence of sunlight and transforms it into tangible energy.

About 300 crystalline silicon photovoltaic glasses in various sizes were added to this structure as part of this photovoltaic integration project. This visionary endeavor covers a substantial surface area of 724 m² (7,792 sqft) and each glass module boasts a 6+6 mm glass configuration with a light transmission ranging from 27% to 30%. This whole installation has a nominal  power of 90.17 kWp.

 

 

 

 

Combined with functionality, this technological marvel converts sunlight into free and clean energy. In addition to the green roof and solar panels, this LEED project leverages many sustainable architectural features. A large canopy shades the south-facing glass, reducing heat gain.
