Technical FAQs 4

What is a photovoltaic curtain wall?

They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment. In contrast, a photovoltaic curtain wall not only insulates the building but also generates power for over 30 years. This reduces monthly electricity bills and ultimately pays for itself over time.

Do curtain wall systems comply with ASTM standards?

Many tests for curtain wall systems are designed to comply with ASTM test methods for air leakage, water penetration, and uniform static air pressure diference, as well as other national standards (AS/NZS, AAMA, SS, JIS and BS). The unique architecture and situation of each building can lead to unforeseen problems with the façade.

Does Photovoltaic Glass fit in a curtain wall?

No, the BIPV photovoltaic glass structurally does not differ from other types of conventional glazing. Therefore, it is integrated into the building envelope (curtain wall, façade, or skylight) like any construction material. What solar control and comfort advantages does photovoltaic glass offer in a curtain wall?

What is a spandrel Photovoltaic Glass?

Similarly, Onyx Solar’s innovative spandrel glass not only offers a sleek appearance but also generates clean, renewable energy. Traditionally used to cover building structures, our opaque spandrel photovoltaic glass delivers superior energy efficiency with high solar energy yield, thanks to its dense solar cell integration.
