Artistic solar panels for nZEB buildings
When renewable energy meets creative freedom, the facade becomes an active canvas.
While standard colored solar panels have been available for some time, Glass to Power’s artistic panels can be customized in shape, color, gradient, or even with full images. This allows them to either seamlessly blend with the building’s cladding or become a distinctive architectural feature.
The concept was born from the desire to integrate photovoltaics into any architectural project, pushing the choice of solar beyond mere economic logic and turning it into a key aesthetic element. Integrating photovoltaics into an architectural design means considering solar panels as an integral part of the design from the very early stages. The modules are no longer add-on components but become structural and aesthetic solutions that are perfectly harmonized with the architecture. The result is a high-energy efficiency and sustainable building with a contemporary visual language.
This solution is ideal for new nZEB constructions and for renovations of protected historic buildings, where it can discreetly produce energy while preserving the original appearance with heritage colors or the reproduction of traditional materials.
Extensive range of color technologies available. Discover the photovoltaic modules
High-precision digital printing technology enables extremely accurate color matching and offers over 1,000 standard colors, with custom shades available upon request.
The artistic modules come in three main aesthetic configurations:
- Ultra black: for a completely black and uniform look, ideal for contemporary and minimalist projects.
- Uniform monochrome tones: that blend seamlessly with sober facades or continuous cladding.
- Custom textures or patterns: with the ability to reproduce any chosen motif.
You can choose between a glossy or extra-matte finish, which gives the glass an elegant, opaque ceramic appearance.
Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) facades
Applications
BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) facades are a cutting-edge solution that integrates solar panels directly into a building’s cladding. These systems not only generate renewable energy but also enhance the building’s aesthetics, combining energy efficiency with sustainability. The vertical surfaces thus become an active part of the energy system, offering an innovative and high-performing alternative to traditional architectural cladding.
Glass to Power’s artistic solar panels are an ideal solution for those seeking maximum architectural versatility. They are specifically designed for integration into facades and parapets, transforming these surfaces into active, energy-producing elements.
Quality and performance of the photovoltaic cells
Glass to Power’s artistic solar panels use the latest generation of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, designed to ensure maximum efficiency, reliability, and long-term durability.
- High energy efficiency: up to 200 W/m², with performance optimized based on the chosen color, texture, and pattern to balance aesthetics and output.
- Extraordinary color stability: colors are guaranteed for up to 50 years, and are resistant to UV rays, thermal shocks, and extreme weather conditions.
- Advanced color management technology: high-definition software ensures precise color matching and an impeccable aesthetic result that is faithful to the original design.
- Total quality control: 100% of the modules are tested with advanced procedures such as EL-scan, I-V curve, and color verification to ensure consistent performance over time.
- Long-term warranties: 25-year linear power warranty and 15-year product warranty (with the possibility of extension) for a safe and lasting investment.
Thanks to these features, the artistic photovoltaic modules are not just a design element but a true integrated energy system capable of combining efficiency, aesthetics, and sustainability.
