Onyx Solar has installed 2,579 m² of solar canopies featuring 1,194 photovoltaic glass panels. Each one provides 344 Wp of power and 18% light transmission, achieving a total of 410 kWp in renewable energy and enhancing comfort on the terraces. Our photovoltaic glass panels, with 6 mm double glazing and an acid-treated interior, ensure efficient light transmission and effective shadow diffusion. Designed specifically for the project, they guarantee uniform cell distribution and precise adaptation to the space. The installation, carried out in collaboration with COPCISA and ACCIONA, was meticulously aligned withthe project specifications, ensuring seamless integration with the existing structures.
The solar canopies are designed to provide effective shading and cooling, which enhances the comfort of users on the terraces. This is particularly important in Barcelona’s warm climate, where effective sun protection contributes significantly to user satisfaction and energy efficiency.
