 The photovoltaic glass has been manufactured in 9 sizes with different thicknesses and with an argon chamber.

 

The photovoltaic installation has been key in the modernization of this building, allowing it to generate its own clean and free energy.

 

Thanks to this skylight, the government of Monaco joins a long list of other sustainable municipalities and states that have already integrated photovoltaic glass into their buildings.
