Building-integrated photovoltaics
Using the building envelope to generate energy – thanks to building-integrated PV systems from Schüco. The custom-built PV modules can be integrated into almost any building envelope. An innovative example of how future-proof energy generation and pioneering architecture can be successfully combined.
The use of made-to-measure Schüco PV modules offers numerous options for combining individual architecture with modern solar energy use.
Ventilated façade
PV modules can be a key design feature in ventilated façades as well as performing a protective function by shielding the heated sections of the building against the weather. Glass/Tedlar or double-glazed modules with single-pane safety glass are used here.
Ventilated/non-ventilated façade
The fact that PV modules can be used in both ventilated and non-ventilated façades, e.g. spandrel panels or parapets, gives additional design scope and allows attractive flush-fitted façades with a uniform external grid design.
Non-ventilated façade
A solar non-ventilated façade with PV modules as infill panels is capable of meeting every requirement levelled at a façade as a space-enclosing unit: structural capabilities, thermal insulation, protection from the weather and sound reduction. The transparent or semi-transparent insulating glass modules offer excellent Ug values, allowing them to be used in place of conventional double glazing.
Skylight constructions
Multi-functional insert units in skylight constructions allow PV modules to be used in top architectural solutions with a wide range of interior and exterior designs. As semi-transparent canopies, they provide protection against heat, sun, glare and adverse weather, whilst also permitting the targeted use of natural light.
In addition, custom-built Schüco PV modules can be integrated into canopies, large blade solar shading, balconies and conservatories.
