BIPV wide product portfolio offers a cost-competitive aesthetically advanced glass-glass BIPV modules based on c-Si (mono and bifacial), back contact (b-c) and a-Si technologies:

  • Semi-transparent glass-glass a-Si patterned glass competing with digital printing
  • Low cost, large format and thickness glass-glass bifacial cell modules for balustrade
  • Glass-glass b-c walkable floor

A broad range of applications are addressed (curtain wall, balustrade, walkable floor and ventilated façade) offering products with excellent balance in terms of aesthetics, performance and cost.


 

Semi-transparent glass-glass a-Si patterned glass competing with digital printing

 

Digital printed glass is a fast-growing and high-margin market for the architectural glass industry, providing large possibilities in terms of aesthetics. On the other hand, laser patterned amorphous Si glass-glass modules provide the opportunity to develop similar products with the added PV production capability, at a similar price. Thus, ONYX has developed low-cost a-Si patterned glass-glass BIPV modules in cost parity with digitally printed glass.

Low cost, large format and thickness glass-glass bifacial cell modules for balustrade

 

ONYX has applied its former knowledge on bifacial cells and the development of XL format glass-glass modules to develop low-cost bifacial cell modules for integration in balustrades with a minimum thickness of 20 mm to 24 mm, implemented as 10 mm + 10 mm or 12 mm + 12 mm double laminated glass.
 

Glass-glass b-c walkable floor

 

The aim of the work carried out has been to develop BIPV solutions based on monocrystalline back contact cells to be applied on PV walkable floors and PV curtain walls.
