The article explored the motivations behind this strategic choice and the progress of our flagship technology, Heli-On.
Glass to Power’s CEO, Claudio Castellan, highlighted how Trentino has proven to be fertile ground for innovation. A dynamic ecosystem, enriched by the presence of cutting-edge research centers and sustainability-oriented businesses, has created a favorable environment for our growth and for the development of advanced solutions in the Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) sector.
The focus then shifted to Heli-On, our innovative insulating glass unit with a photovoltaic frame, entirely developed in-house.

Its recent presentation at the Bau Messe in Munich last January garnered significant interest from the construction industry, eager to integrate energy production into buildings in an aesthetically harmonious way.
