Movable glass house under photovoltaic

As the photovoltaic cells are integrated with the glass, it negates the need to have separate conventional solar panels installed on the rooftop. SunEwat is AGC's glass-embedded photovoltaic solution, offering architects an efficient and aesthetically pleasing solution for energy-generating glass facades.

Their patented technology and ClearVue PV product offer the first truly clear solar glass on the market, and available to purchase now, which promises to fill cities with buildings that actively reduce energy usage while also generating electricity to contribute to building running costs.

Classified as a Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) system, ClearVue's solar PV windows are integrated within a building's envelope, as opposed to conventional PV systems where modules had to be mounted on the top of existing roofs.

Complement classic building materials — or replace them. As building blocks for your design, Vitro provides you with the shape, size, solar cell type and transparency. Solarvolt ™ BIPV glass systems are ideal for performing the functions of classic façades.

PV cells are integrated into the glass of the shading louvres, either by attaching them to the reverse side of the glass panels or by laminating them between two sheets of glass. Like Shadoglass, Shadovoltaic may be installed either vertically or horizontally in front of the façade or on the roof. It can be either fixed or controllable.

Doubling as a building component to enhance sustainability and energy efficiency in commercial buildings, the Solarvolt™ BIPV glass system has been honored for delivering high performance, aesthetics and CO2-free power generation while replacing conventional building materials.
