Building Integrated Photovoltaic BIPV Our product It is the combination of aesthetic aspects, carbon-free power generation and weather protection that makes glass-glass solar modules so attractive on building facades and roofs. Solar facades are an environmental-friendly alternative to granite, marble and other construction materials and create inspirational, functional solutions. solarnova designs, plans and produces solar modules for building integration according to your individual design wishes, architectural concept, geometric specifications and structural requirements. We produce solar modules up to a size of 3,700mm x 2,500mm and glass thicknesses of up to twice 12mm. The solar modules permit various options and are adapted individually to the corresponding purpose. Depending on your specific wishes, we can also modify the shaping size, solar cell type, transparency and solar cell color, together with the color and transparency of the rear glass pane. 6
Solarnova - Design and manufacturing of BIPV Sky light In many installation situations, the modules are fitted in so-called overhead glazing balustrade As with overhead glazing, there are also aspects of balcony glazing and other glazing elements that require safeguarding to prevent possible accidents facade Solar modules are ideal for performing the functions of the classic facade cladding of glass, natural stone or ceramic sunshading Solar sunshading systems are key elements in an increasingly glazed, transparent architecture 7
