OMERAKI RESTAURANT · MADRID, SPAIN
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Omeraki Restaurant owned by renowned chef and TV star Alberto Chicote installed Onyx Solar's energy generating seethrough architectural glass. The project integrates crystalline silicon photovoltaic glass panels, creating a roof skylight with 47% visible light transmission to allow a great amount of natural light to pass through. Each photovoltaic insulated glass unit is configured with 4T+4T mm glass and a 12 mm argon chamber in order to achieve an outstanding thermal and sound insulation that is a must to ensure the comfort of the foodies that visit this restaurant located in the heart of Madrid to enjoy Chicote's food. The layout was custom-made to achieve also an optimized g-value (SHGC) and block the entrance of a good amount of heat. In other words we customized the photovoltaic glass to achieve the best possible balance between visible light transmission, solar heat coefficient and nominal power for this iconic project.
This roof skylight, tailored to the specific needs of Omeraki Restaurant, offers an ideal blend of energy generation and comfort. It minimizes solar heat gain, reducing the reliance on cooling systems, which is crucial in Madrid's hot summers. Reaching a nominal power of 104 Wp per square meter, the photovoltaic glass supports the restaurant's sustainability goals by producing clean energy. This integration not only enhances thermal insulation and energy efficiency but also contributes to the restaurant’s modern, sustainable design, blending form and function seamlessly.
