ONYX Solar Glass Properties
ONYX Solar Glass panels are made of layers of heat-treated safety glass which can provide the same thermal and sound insulation as conventional architectural glass, not to mention the fact that they also let natural light go through in the same way as conventional glass. Thus the photovoltaic glass panes could be installed replacing conventional glass on building facades, curtain walls, atriums, canopies and terrace floors, among other architectural applications. These glass panes could additionally be installed on a wide variety of existing buildings and facilities, therefore contributing to their enhancement both from an aesthetic and energetic point of view.
Photovoltaic
PV Glass generates free and clean electricity thanks to the sun, turning buildings into vertical power generators.
Multifunctional
PV Glass lets natural light go through. It also provides thermal and sound insulation, ensuring great filtering power as 99% of UV harmful radiation and up to 95% of IR radiation can be absorbed.
Financial Benefits
ONYX PV Glass works as a revenue-accelerator. Enjoy long term energy savings, tax credits and incentives.
Aesthetic
ONYX PV glass can be easily adapted to the needs of clients making it possible to choose the shape, color, size, thickness and grade.
Amorphous Silicon Photovoltaic Glass
Amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass (PV glass) features a combination of functionality, efficiency and aesthetics. This material can be the perfect substitute for conventional architectural glass placed in buildings because it offers the same mechanical properties in addition to the advantages mentioned a few lines below.
Advantages of Amorphous Silicon PV Glass
- ONYX Amorphous Silicon PV Glass produces more power that crystalline silicon glass in overcast weather and high temperatures.
- It offers different visible light transmittance levels, up to 30%.
- It offers flexibility in design since it can be tailored to the architectural needs.
- Amorphous silicon glass is the ideal material to be used as it can provide buildings with a lot of natural illumination in their interiors.
- Its filtering properties are also highlighted because both harmful UV radiation and IR can be absorbed, thus, improving its thermal insulation.
- Amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass features both good thermal and sound insulation properties.
Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Glass
Crystalline silicon glass features more power installed per SqFt in comparison to amorphous silicon glass. This means that under direct sunlight crystalline silicon glass can yield twice as much energy as amorphous silicon glass. This PV glass technology is suitable for those buildings and facilities with good solar orientation which seek maximum energy output.
Advantages of Crystalline Silicon PV Glass
- Crystalline silicon glass can be easily customized, especially in terms of shape.
- Greater nominal power capacity per Suare feet
- Crystalline silicon glass installations take up less area for a given amount of kWp to be reached compared to amorphous silicon glass installations.
- Crystalline silicon glass' efficiency can go up to 16%
Applications on ONYX PV Solar Glass
A photovoltaic skylight generates clean and free energy at the same time that it provides bioclimatic properties of thermal comfort. It has an optimized solar filter, which absorbs almost all of the ultraviolet and infrared rays, which are harmful to the occupants of the building. The air chamber of the insulating glass guarantees a better thermal performance inside the building.
Curtain walls are becoming a popular application for photovoltaic glass in buildings. They allow for owners to generate power from areas of the building they had never thought of. Buildings become a real power plant, keeping their design appeal, aesthetics, efficiency and functionality.
Both amorphous Silicon and crystalline Silicon glass can be used for curtain applications, and choosing one or another will depend on your design preferences, energy needs, and daylight conditions.
A photovoltaic canopy offers energy generation, sun protection and shelter. Depending on the type of canopy, the electricity yielded can be consumed in different ways: self-consumption for surrounding buildings, courtesy lighting, ad-box illumination, back-up systems, as well as injection to the grid.
Building envelopes traditionally call for spandrel glass wherever a construction material or structure needs to be hidden. Opacity is the common characteristic for any type of spandrel glass in the market, and Onyx Solar wants to make the most of it. Our spandrel photovoltaic glass lets buildings generate a huge amount of clean energy thanks to their opaque design. Opaque glass means higher solar cell density, which ultimately translates into high energy yield.
Contemporary architecture keeps searching for innovative and energy-efficient materials for façade and roof projects. Inspired by architectural needs, Onyx Solar has designed a photovoltaic ventilated façade and roof system which provide undeniable aesthetics, great thermal performance, and a new source of free, clean electricity. The electricity generated by the system can be either injected to the grid, or it can be consumed right in the instant that it is generated. The thermal barrier that they create can result in energy savings up to 50% of the building´s current demand. Accordingly, both I.R.R. and payback time are unbeatable.
Onyx Solar has developed the first anti-slip, “walkable” PV paver in the world. PV pavers allow building owners to install solar energy in rooftops, while preserving their habitability.
Traditional PV panels take up all the space on the roof, reducing the amenity space within any building. In contrast, PV pavers let the owner generate free electricity, while still letting people enjoy the space and walk on top of them, safely.
PV pavers can be manufactured using any Onyx solar technology (amorphous Silicon and crystalline Silicon), and they comply with the highest and most strict quality standards.
They are intended for pedestrian traffic only, and they are installed as any technical, raised outdoors flooring system (PVC pedestals, wood and metal framing). They withstand up to 400 Kg (point load), and can be manufactured in standard dimensions and customized ones.
Onyx Solar is a pioneer in the development of a photovoltaic kit that enables outdoor furniture to generate clean, free energy from the sun. In this way, tables, canopies, benches, poles, floors and other furniture become solar chargers for users to feed their electronic devices. Convenience and environment meet at our coffee tables.
The photovoltaic kit developed by Onyx Solar consists of a photovoltaic glass module and the electrical equipment needed for the connection of electronic devices (mobile telephones, laptop computers, tablets, etc.) via a USB port. It also comes with a battery to store electricity and use it whenever needed.
A photovoltaic acoustic barrier is an external structure with double function. It is designed to protect users from noise pollution and produce clean and free energy thanks to the sun.
Traffic noise has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a major contributor to environmental pollution. Not only it causes discomfort, but also has significant negative health impacts on communities living near road infrastructures. Acoustic screens are the most effective method of reducing sources of traffic noise.
Transforming this solution to a photovoltaic variant takes advantage of the road acoustic barriers reducing the noise created by vehicles and producing clean energy thanks to the Onyx Solar glass photovoltaic properties.
A photovoltaic carport system offers energy generation, sun protection and shelter for cars and vehicles. Depending on the type of carport system, the electricity yielded can be consumed in different ways: self-consumption to charge electric cars and bikes, courtesy lighting, ad-box illumination, back-up systems, as well as injection to the grid.
Design options are almost unlimited: one, two or multiple slopes, different tilts and orientations, multiple glass design options (silk-screening, ceramic frits, colors, etc.)
Photovoltaic glass on carports can be supported using a variety of structural systems, including point-supported systems, U channels and skylight-like structures.
Sustainability and energy independence are becoming more important than ever in the design of a home. Photovoltaic roof tile solutions can be adapted to each project according to its power generation needs. It guarantees the durability, protection and energy efficiency of the construction.
In order to combine efficiency with design, this solution is integrated into the roof (private residences mainly) without compromising on architecture and aesthetics.
