Integrated solar cells in façade system

Choice of solar glazing

The solar cells are usually either embedded in a transparent insulated double- or triple-glazed unit, or in an opaque single-glazed unit if it is to be fitted into parapets or solar shading. The solar cells are always installed in the outer glazing, which should have a low iron content. The low iron content results in a very clear glass that maximizes the amount of sunlight reaching the solar cells. Solar glazing integrates easily into our profile systems SAPA Façade 4150/4150 SX/4150 and Sapa Roof Glazing 5050.
