GAS BARBASTRO · HUESCA, SPAIN
Onyx Solar has supplied advanced photovoltaic glass for the creation of a photovoltaic ventilated façade at the social, administrative, and commercial headquarters of Gas Barbastro in Barbastro, Huesca, Spain. This innovative installation not only meets the building's construction and aesthetic needs but also significantly enhances its energy efficiency. The façade has a peak power output of 23 kWp, consisting of 81 crystalline silicon glass panels. Each glass module, measuring 1,700 x 1,000 mm, contains 60 monocrystalline photovoltaic cells, contributing to a total of 4,860 cells across the entire façade. The installation, covering dimensions of 16.60 x 9.10 meters, will generate substantial energy savings, reducing the building’s energy costs by more than 60%.
In addition to producing clean energy, the photovoltaic façade provides excellent thermal insulation, contributing to reduced heating and cooling costs for the building. The energy generated from this installation offsets the building’s power consumption, resulting in significant energy savings and helping the facility reduce its carbon footprint. The use of Onyx Solar’s photovoltaic glass demonstrates how architectural design can merge with renewable energy solutions to deliver both functional and aesthetic benefits, aligning perfectly with Gas Barbastro’s commitment to sustainability and innovation.
“We undertook this work with great enthusiasm and now, once the installation is finished, we can say that we have adopted the ideal solution for our building. This architectural solution provided by Onyx Solar is ideal for this type of refurbishment and also for new buildings. We are proud that a Spanish company has devised and developed this efficient and aesthetic solution."
