The integration of photovoltaic technologies into traditional Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) represents a critical step in the evolution of energy-efficient building envelopes. Among these innovations, HELI-ON by Glass to Power stands out as a BIPV solution that maintains full transparency while integrating energy-generating elements within a peripheral photovoltaic frame.
A breakthrough in BIPV façade systems
Traditional transparent PV solutions have often required compromises between light transmission and energy generation. HELI-ON overcomes this by embedding PV elements into the IGU frame, ensuring thermal and acoustic performance equivalent to conventional glazing, while producing electricity and maintaining full integration into curtain wall assemblies.
As BIPV technologies mature, solutions like HELI-ON redefine the dual role of building components, combining passive functions with active energy generation.
