SOLARSAVE® ARCHITECTURAL PV GLASS
PRODUCT SOLUTIONS:
Architectural and Design PV glass Solution
PRODUCT APPLICATIONS:
Open Energy Corporation produces Interior and exterior architectural glass that can be substituted for monolithic, laminated, or insulated glass specifications.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Open Energy Corporation designs and manufactures custom PV glass to meet the aesthetic, performance, and structural requirements for building design professional. The sizes, shapes, colors, and power configurations available can be built to match virtually any glass specification available today allowing for a direct substitution for monolithic, laminated, or insulated glass tiles. It is often desirable to achieve a level of translucency in a photovoltaic skylight application. While a standard photovoltaic cell is 5 or 6 inches square and opaque, the cells can be spread some distance (often 20 mm) in order to provide a light level that is appropriate and a shading coefficient in the 80% range. The maximum dimension of the PV laminates is 50 inches x 98 inches with glass thickness up to 25mm.
Open Energy Corporation provides consulting in the design, configuration, certification, installation, and service of SolarSave® Architectural PV Glass products both directly and through our network of installers and solar integrators across the United States and Canada.
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
- Meets the aesthetic, performance, and structural requirements of A&D professionals
- Sizes, shapes, colors, and design configurations can be built to match virtually any glass specifications
- Product can be directly substituted into any application requiring monolithic, laminated or insulated glass
- PV arrays layouts can be adjusted to meet specific light level and shading coefficient requirements.
MONOLITHIC PV GLASS
Monolithic PV Glass tiles are single sheets of low-iron glass with PV cells within a back sheet of DuPont Tedlar®. This type of PV glass is used in spandrel and curtain wall applications. The glass can be tempered, heat strengthened, or annealed. Colors, thickness, frit patterns, and a wide variety of shapes can be provided.
LAMINATED PV GLASS
Laminated PV Glass is composed of two sheets of glass that form a material that can be used as safety glass, curtain walls, and canopies. Cover sheet is 3mm low iron "white glass" and the back panel can be standard or custom architecture glass. Colors, thickness, frit patterns, and a wide variety of shapes can be provided.
INSULATED PV GLASS
Insulated PV Glass has the PV laminates as the outer tile, airspace of 3/8" typically and inner tile of standard flat glass. Insulated PVs are used in window wall, skylight, and curtain wall applications. Colors, thickness, frit patterns, and a wide variety of shapes can be provided.
