Rooftop terrace photovoltaic glass sun room

You don't even have to go out into the backyard when you have a sunroom with a glass roof. Instead you can relax in comfort while you watch the stars pass overhead. These sunrooms are easy to install, and you can seamlessly add them onto existing structures. These rooms let you get “out” into nature while being protected from the elements.

For the open overhead glazing of patios or terraces, a module construction in glass-glass technology is to be considered sufficient; in closed rooms such as sun-porches or winter gardens however, which are to ensure for a pleasant interior climate and thermal insulation, the solar modules are constructed as insulating glass laminates.

Solar glass - also called photovoltaic glass - is a special glass which - in comparison to normal window glass - allows for a 10% higher transmission due to lower iron contents; hence the energy input for the solar application will be increased.

Photovoltaics, more commonly known as solar panels, are one of the purest and most reliable methods for producing renewable energy. Each panel is composed of photovoltaic cells, which activate when exposed to the sun, absorbing its rays and converting them into clean electricity.

Thanks to the implementation of high-efficiency solar cells, even our semi-transparent solar modules excel in performance and not only allow enough daylight to pass into interiors but rather create for pleasant atmospheres inside by perfect light control. At the same time, our modules act as sun shields.

Due to the thermal pre-stressing process, solar glass is given a better mechanical stability. Compressive stresses on the surface and tensile stresses in the middle are built up inside the photovoltaic glass. As a result, photovoltaic glasses resist higher mechanical strains, e.g. high load deflections when subject to mechanical impacts.
