This photovoltaic skylight is made of red, blue, yellow, and green coloured photovoltaic glass, evoking a Mondrian-like appearance and providing captivating shadows in a very aesthetically pleasing.

 

 

 

 

We have customized the manufacturing of PV glass to meet the high aesthetic standards required by the client.

 

Our innovative technology has been manufactured in different sizes (1,245x1,242 mm & 1,245x635 mm), degrees of transparency (low, medium and high transparency), and colors (red, blue, green, yellow) arranged in a grid pattern that evokes the work of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian.

 

 

 

 

All units have a glass configuration of 6+3+6 mm and a 16 mm argon chamber that offers significant benefits, including increased energy efficiency, reduced noise and UV transmission, and improved insulation. The argon gas acts as an insulator, reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency. 

 

 

The colored glasses not only add a bold visual element to the space, but they also diffuse natural light in a way that creates beautiful and interesting shadows on the surrounding walls and floor. The resulting effect is a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that changes throughout the day and adds an element of whimsy and playfulness to the space.
