COCA-COLA/FEMSA HQ · MEXICO
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Onyx Solar supplied photovoltaic glass to the Femsa Headquarters in Monterrey, which stands as the largest CocaCola bottler globally. The project involved installing a second skin façade composed of amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass. The installation comprised laminated photovoltaic glass panels, blending both fully opaque and semi-transparent glass panels in line with the façade’s design.
The selected photovoltaic glass for the Femsa Headquarters was meticulously chosen to align with the project’s design goals and client specifications. With a visible light transmission (VLT) of 20% and a solar factor of 34%, the glass provides an effective balance between natural light, shading, and solar heat control. This ensures that the building benefits from a comfortable internal environment while minimizing unwanted solar gain. Furthermore, the glass can reaches a nominal power output of 38 Wp per square meter, contributing to the facility’s energy efficiency and sustainability objectives.
The integration of this advanced photovoltaic glass serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. The opaque and semi-transparent panels not only enhance the building’s architectural appeal but also improve its overall energy performance. This thoughtful combination of design and technology demonstrates Onyx Solar’s commitment to delivering tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of each project while supporting broader environmental and sustainability goals.
