The installation combines colored, translucent Amorphous Silicon photovoltaic floor tiles with ceramic panels, to create a checkerboard floor design mounted on an IPE wood grid system by Solar Deck.

 

 

 

 

The Onyx Solar photovoltaic glass tile comes with a textured finish, UL410 compliant, that allows the product to be slip-resistant.

 

Thanks to this installation, the building will meet NYC’s Climate Mobilization Act, Local Laws 92 & 94, which require a solar installation or green roofs on all new construction as well as buildings undertaking major roof renovations. In addition, it will allow the owners to enjoy the entire amenity space, since the PV floor tile doesn’t “steal” any single sqft of roof space, as opposed to conventional roof panel installations.
