Transparent BIPV Solar Glass for Modern Facades

Specification


Power Glass is an advanced transparent BIPV solar glass solution designed for modern commercial architecture and energy-efficient building envelopes. Built using innovative CdTe thin-film photovoltaic technology, Power Glass transforms facades, skylights, canopies, and rooftops into electricity-generating architectural surfaces while maintaining natural daylight and premium aesthetics.


Unlike conventional facade glass, Power Glass functions as both an architectural glazing material and a renewable energy system, making it ideal for commercial towers, airports, IT parks, hospitals, metro stations, institutional buildings, and smart infrastructure projects.

What is Power Glass?

Power Glass is a semi-transparent photovoltaic glass system that integrates CdTe thin-film solar technology directly within architectural glass panels.

The technology enables controlled light transmission through precision laser scribing, allowing the glass to maintain transparency while generating clean solar electricity.

The panels are engineered to resemble premium facade glass while delivering long-term energy generation and enhanced building performance.

Available transparency options include:

10%

This allows architects and developers to balance daylight transmission, aesthetics, and energy generation according to project requirements.

Power Glass vs Conventional Facade Glass

While conventional facade glass only serves architectural and aesthetic purposes, Power Glass combines architectural performance with solar energy generation.

Advantages of Power Glass


Generate Electricity from Building Facades

  • Unlike conventional rooftop solar panels, Power Glass utilizes vertical facade surfaces to maximize solar energy generation.

Higher Surface Area Utilization

  • Unlike High-rise buildings often have larger facade areas than rooftop spaces, enabling greater electricity generation potential.

Reduced Heat Load

  • Unlike Power Glass helps reduce solar heat gain inside buildings, improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort.

Enhanced Green Building Ratings

  • Unlike Power Glass contributes toward sustainable architecture and green building certifications.

Customizable Transparency

  • Unlike Transparency levels can eliminate the need for additional shading systems such as curtains, films, or blinds.

Weather Resistant Design

  • Unlike Power Glass is engineered to withstand diverse environmental and weather conditions.
