Imagine a porcelain face of a building or a canopy of glass as an indistinct architectural feature, quietly producing electricity. In this example, 300 high-tech photovoltaic glass panels produce around 46,500 kWh of electricity each year. This is not a window; it is an electric-generating surface. Most importantly, we want to consider why this innovation was necessary, its intended use in the country, and what the future holds for both architecture and renewable energy.
From traditional solar panels to photovoltaic glass, pioneering the future of energy
In the understanding of this project, glass panels can be interpreted as photovoltaic glazing, glass that incorporates transparent or semi-transparent solar cell technology. Instead of bulky solar modules mounted on a roof or ground system, this approach harvests energy as part of the fabric of the building.
