Photovoltaic Glass
Onyx Solar's photovoltaic glass integrates solar energy generation with architectural design. This dual-function material provides thermal insulation, acoustic control, and UV/IR radiation filtering while converting sunlight into electricity. Ideal for faades, curtain walls, and walkable floors, it reduces energy costs and carbon footprints. The glass maintains conventional material properties while enabling buildings to generate their own renewable energy, supporting net-zero goals through passive and active energy-saving mechanisms.
Crystalline Silicon PV Glass
Crystalline silicon photovoltaic glass delivers the highest power output per square meter. This technology excels in direct sunlight conditions, making it ideal for high-demand applications like commercial buildings and industrial facilities. Available in monocrystalline and polycrystalline variants, it offers customizable transparency levels while maintaining architectural aesthetics. With efficiency up to 16%, it requires less surface area to achieve desired energy output compared to other technologies, making it optimal for space-constrained projects requiring maximum energy generation.
Amorphous Silicon PV Glass
Amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass combines versatility with aesthetic appeal. This technology offers adjustable light transmittance from fully opaque to 30% VLT, enabling daylight optimization while generating clean energy. It performs well in diffuse light conditions and vertical installations, making it suitable for urban environments with partial shading. While producing 3x less power than crystalline silicon, its design flexibility and uniform appearance make it ideal for architectural applications prioritizing visual harmony over maximum energy output.
BIPV Consulting
Our BIPV consulting services guide projects from conceptual design to implementation. We provide feasibility studies, technical specifications, and LEED certification support for integrating photovoltaic glass into new or existing structures. Our team collaborates with architects and engineers to optimize energy performance while maintaining design intent. Services include 3D modeling, shadow analysis, and financial planning to ensure cost-effective, code-compliant installations that maximize energy generation and architectural value.
Curtain Wall Solutions
Onyx Solar's photovoltaic curtain wall systems transform building exteriors into energy-generating assets. These edge-to-edge glass installations maintain thermal performance while producing clean electricity, reducing operational costs over 30+ years. Available in amorphous or crystalline silicon variants, they integrate seamlessly with existing curtain wall systems, offering concealed wiring for aesthetic continuity. Ideal for commercial buildings, these solutions combine energy efficiency, UV protection, and customizable aesthetics to enhance both environmental performance and architectural appeal.
