TIMBER COVE · CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES
NEW CONSTRUCTION
Onyx Solar provided crystalline silicon photovoltaic glass for a high-end residential resort in Sonoma County, located in Timber Cove, a picturesque cliff side area overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This project involves three roofs for three buildings: the main hall, guest rooms, and the garage. The installation includes trapezoidal crystalline silicon pieces in three shapes, an anti-slip finish and a ceramic black frit on the back. Collaborating with Eckerseley O’Callaghan, this project marks a significant step in constructing such complexes, proving that luxury service standards can coexist with sustainability and self-consumption.
The photovoltaic glass selected for Timber Cove aligns perfectly with the bioclimatic design principles applied to this project, enhancing energy efficiency while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the resort. Given its durability and ability to withstand harsh coastal conditions, photovoltaic glass panels is an ideal solution for the location, ensuring long-lasting performance. The anti-slip finish not only provides safety but also contributes to the overall visual appeal. Moreover, the customization of the photovoltaic glass according to the client's specific needs underscores its versatility, offering an optimal balance between functionality and high-end design that suits the resort's sophisticated atmosphere.
