PHOTOVOLTAICGLASS Our photovoltaic glass is the only architectural glass that pays for itself due to the energy generated and the great insulation properties

WALKABLE PV FLOOROnyx Solar has released to the market a walkable PV floor, another innovative solution for integrating solar energy into buildings.

Thanks to the advance in our R&D&I department, this photovoltaic solution comes with the highest quality standards: It complies with the anti-slip regulation, it supports 400 kg in point load test and reaches almost the same efficiency levels than any other photovoltaic building material.

‘’A non-slip glass surface that can be configured in color or even backlit by the energy generated’’

Equally important is the appealing design of this solution, offering a fantastic range of configuration possibilities in color (or combination of colors) and the chance to use a LED backlit system to enhance the aesthetic value.

Add value toyour buildings

A Walkable PV Floor provides

Reduce the carboon footprintof your buildings

This PV pavement is a really appealing product for architects as it can be integrated in any project and environment without renouncing design and aestheticism.

What’s more, it combines passive elements (avoided CO2 emissions) with active elements (power generation), greatly reducing the building’s environmental impact.

Onyx Solar has launched the first colored photovoltaic glass adapted to construction standards. From this moment on, photovoltaic energy can be integrated as any other building construction material, or combined with them into buildings.

There are 4 standard sizes and almost infinite possibilities of configuration in color and transparency. Therefore, Onyx Solar photovoltaic glass can be incorporated in any type of building: Curtain walls, façades, brise soleil, skylights… Even a PV walkable anti-slip floor, a solution developed by Onyx Solar which is already available in the market.

PHOTOVOLTAIC TRANSPARENT GLASSTake advantage of the sunlight to illuminate your building. Thanks to our photovoltaic transparent glass you will allow the entrance of the sunlight, avoiding UV radiation and infrared radiation, and seeing through the glass at the same time.

Choose between 10%, 20% or 30% of transparency degree, depending on the luminosity required and enjoy your views.


Colorful BiPV is a perfect example of how this innovative technology keeps evolving as a result of continuous R&D investments and commitment to innovation.

In this way, we have been able to create this range of colorful solutions which maintains the same efficiency rate as non-colored BiPVs.

COLOREDPHOTOVOLTAIC GLASSSustainability, energy efficiency and onsite renewable energy sources are the most important concepts that contemporary architecture pursues. All cities and buildings around the Globe are Going Green.

Onyx Solar allows you to go beyond: Your choice of color includes green, orange, yellow, light red, dark red, light blue, dark blue, light grey dark grey, purple, white and black.

This range of colorful photovoltaic glass is no available on the market and will open up new opportunities of integrating artistically colored photovoltaic glass. It can used for skylight, curatin wall, balcony and any other architectural application

*NOTE: Color scheme could vary depending if the glass is seen from the interior or exterior side. Colors displayed are only shown as a representation of actual pv glass colors. Color is affected by light, and therefore cannot truly be matched. Colors displayed here should not be substituted for color matching with actual glass samples. Please order a sample to ensure you are pleased with your color selection before ordering for your project.

Create an innovative skylight in line with your corporate image and colors; create a pixeled façade showcasing your logo, design a cutting edge, sustainable building able to generate its own energy in an artistic manner. Just innovate.

PHOTOVOLTAIC LAMINATED SAFETY GLASSFor projects where laminated glass is required, we consider various options in order to meet the customer’s specifica-tions.

Laminated glass is composed of several panes of glass, bonded together by an interlayer (EVA or PVB normally).

The thickness of the panes uses to be a 0.12, 0.24, 0.40, 0.47, 0.75 in (3, 6, 10, 12 or 19 mm) glass which can be toughened and heat soaked.

Additionally, the interlayer material can be adapted in order to improve the degree of insulation and to provide a wide range of colors, being both neces-sary in order to achieve a greater acoustic insulation and to meet the aesthetic requirements of the project.

Laminated safety glass is comprehensibly tested for wind forces, seismic activity or impact resistance, in order to comply with all the functional, quality and safety standards required.

Also, other tests are carried out in order to comply with additional regulations such as the 1703 UL certification or the International Electrotechnical Commis-sion -IEC-.

One of the main applications of our laminated glass consists of its usage in ventilated photovoltaic façades and roofs.

For an easy and quick installation, we have developed a complete set of complementary products and services, which also allow its installation in any type of project.


PHOTOVOLTAICDOUBLE GLAZEDINSULATING UNITS

Semi-transparent double glazed photovoltaic insulating glass units can be incorporated into the project providing better thermal insulation properties. Normally they consist of an external photovoltaic laminated glass of 0.24, 0.32, 0.40, 0.47, 0.59, 0.75 in (6, 8, 10, 12, 15 or 19 mm)thick, an air chamber of 16 mm for a greater thermal insulation performance, and an inner pane of 6 mm thick glass.

Additionally, Argon filling can be used with the chamber for a better thermal performance.

PHOTOVOLTAICTRIPLE GLAZED

INSULATING UNITS

In order to achieve even better thermal insulation, semi-transparent triple glazed insulating photovoltaic glass units could be considered as a possible solution.

Generally they consist of an additional inner pane of 0.24 in (6 mm) thick glass which is incorporated into the double glazed unit.


PHOTOVOLTAICGLASS PATTERNSThrough laser cutting technology, the active area of the glass can be modified in order to get different patterns and 100% customized designs, leading to spectacular shapes and semi-transparency effects.

Do combine a pattern and a semi-transparency degree according to the pursued design and to the energy requirements of the project.

Depending on the selected pattern or design, and the degree of semi-trans-parency, peak power could decrease.


MAINADVANTAGESOnyx Solar has developed a wide range of photovoltaic glass specifically designed for installation in buildings.

The photovoltaic properties allow this glasses to generate electricity even in those buildings where the orientation and inclination is not at its optimum (for example: north façade).

It is not a traditional photovoltaic module designed for ground installation.

It has been designed specially as safety glass for buildings in order to comply with the Technical Code of the Building.

It is available in different thicknesses, sizes and grades of transparency.

It works in all weather conditions, including low light and cloudy conditions.

It produces low cost electricity (kWh), allowing lower capital investment and increased output per rated watt.

It is environmentally friendly and has a shorter energy payback period (the amount of time it takes to generate enough energy to equal the energy used to produce it) than traditional photovoltaic modules.

It is frameless and has a uniform colour that is aesthetically appealing.

It is ideal for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and other high-visibility applications.

WHY DO OUR SOLUTIONS ADD VALUE TO ANY BUILDING OR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT?

Our Multifunctional Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) solutions allow for the entry of natural light, provide both thermal and sound insulation, they filter out harmful radiation, produce clean, free energy thanks to solar power and feature an innovative, customized design which can be integrated perfectly into any type of building.

OPTICAL & THERMAL PROPERTIESPhotovoltaic glass’ multi-purpose properties improve upon those of conventional glass. Onyx Solar® photovoltaic glasses can be customized in order to optimize its performance in different climate conditions.Its solar factor (g) ranges from 5% to 40% depending on the glass configuration.

Onyx Solar®’s selection of glasses can reach every possible U and thermal values. Said values are in direct relation with the ability to maintain optimal temperature conditions inside the building, since they determine the amount of heat the glass lets through
