Introduction to Custom Solar Facades
SolarLab introduces custom solar facades, a revolutionary approach to integrating on-site energy production seamlessly into building exteriors. These solar facades not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of structures but also replace traditional facade cladding and rooftop PV installations. This innovative technology unlocks roof areas for rainwater management, green roofs to promote biodiversity, and social activities while ensuring a return on investment through energy savings.
Manufacturing Process
SolarLab employs state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques using mono-crystalline PERC cells, tempered low-iron glass, and seaworthy aluminum sourced sustainably from Denmark. The production process utilizes renewable energy from wind and hydropower, minimizing environmental impact. The nano-coating technology ensures vibrant and fade-resistant colors, offering a range of iridescent and flat color options.
Installation and Customization
Collaborating with local installers worldwide, SolarLab delivers comprehensive solutions including custom panels, mounting systems, and electrical designs. The unitized and modular system allows for flexible panel sizes, ranging from 360x360mm to 1000x3600mm, and diverse cladding depths, ensuring compatibility with various architectural designs. The solar facade cladding can be flat-mounted or individually angled, offering design freedom and adaptability.
