SHORE PLAZA II · PUNGGOL, SINGAPORE
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Onyx Solar supplied its photovoltaic glass for this iconic skylight situated in Punggol Eco-Town, Singapore to generate in-situ a significant amount of the energy required by the building. The installation comprises crystalline silicon photovoltaic glass with a 12 mm air chamber for added thermal insulation. The photovoltaic glass panels have a notable transparency degree, allowing the entry of abundant natural light, which helps to reduce light consumption. At the same time they block a significant amount of heat, essential for reducing the use of air conditioning, without sacrificing the comfort of the visitors of this innovative shopping center located in Singapore where the weather is well know as extremely hot and humid. The glass was, as usually, customized according to the customer's desires to achieve a perfect balance between aesthetics, energy generation and energy efficiency, culminating in a design that blends high efficiency with a visually appealing aesthetic.
The photovoltaic glass chosen for Shore Plaza II in Punggol, with a nominal power that can reach 126 Wp per square meter, plays a crucial role in the building’s energy performance. Its visible light transmission of 34% ensures that ample natural light reaches the interior, significantly cutting down the need for artificial lighting during daylight hours. Simultaneously, with a g-value of 40%, the photovoltaic glass helps manage solar heat gain, creating a more comfortable and energy-efficient environment in a climate as challenging as Singapore's.
This tailored photovoltaic solution meets the project’s specifications for energy generation and climate control, aligning with Punggol’s commitment to sustainability. The sleek design of the photovoltaic glass not only enhances the building’s overall aesthetic but also provides long-term energy savings, making it an ideal choice for a modern, eco-friendly shopping center in one of the world’s most dynamic urban environments.
