AGC Glass Europe is introducing the SunEwat range of energy-generating façade products developed for use in facade windows, spandrels, cladding and other applications.
The range is the result of collaboration with selected partners, including PHYSEE Technologies, as Xavier Sahyoun, Manager of AGC Glass Europe’s Active Glass business unit, explained: “By combining their expertise in solar energy with our expertise in glass, we can now supply a wide range of cutting-edge photovoltaic-embedded glass solutions.
“The SunEwat range is a revolution compared to conventional unattractive photovoltaic panels. Our modules comply with nearly zero-energy building requirements, while offering facade designers limitless architectural and aesthetic options as well as seamless integration into buildings. SunEwat solutions are also cost-efficient, featuring record low payback periods.”
SunEwat products for windows are available under the names Vision Square, Vision Stripe and SmartSkin. SunEwat Vision delivers solutions that showcase the use of green energy while maintaining the glazing’s transparency and functionality. SmartSkin is a dynamic facade innovation by PHYSEE Technologies combining photovoltaics and learning sensors with a smart building management system.
SunEwat products for spandrels are marketed under the names Stopray Active, Artlite Active and Lacobel T Active.
In these products, the photovoltaic cells are completely hidden behind a coating, creative designs or a coat of paint,. Artlite Active, developed in partnership with Solar Visuals, enables ‘total customisation of the cladding area with infinite possibilities for images, colours and prints’
‘Lacobel T Active is a totally uniform solution featuring photovoltaic cells concealed behind glossy paint. Stopray Vision coatings for windows can now be matched with Stopray Active, an active spandrel version delivering an aesthetically superb project with a uniform appearance while ensuring optimal energy generation.’
