Photovoltaic Glass in the Building Envelope

Technology Performance under different Climate Conditions

Register

Photovoltaic glass offers buildings the opportunity to generate their own electricity from the entire envelope: curtain wall and rainscreen cladding systems, domes, louvers, guardrails and other building applications are suitable to use PV Glass and reduce the building?s carbon footprint.

This session will offer an overview of the main solar technologies currently used in building integrated photovoltaic applications, as well as their performance depending on different variables such as climatic zone, building?s orientation, and application type.

Learning objectives:

Recognize the main solar technologies commercially available in the market and their technical characteristics.
Understand the composition of a PV Glass and its different configurations.

Review the different design options offered by advanced photovoltaic glass.

Learn the advantages and disadvantages that the different photovoltaic glass technologies bring to the building depending on its typology and location.

Thermal performance of amorphous Silicon and crystalline Silicon PV Glass: choosing the right one for each project.
Case studies: review of some of the most outstanding photovoltaic glass projects deployed in different countries.

PRESENTER:
Diego Cuevas, VP Business Development North America, Onyx Solar. Bachelor in Business Administration and Master in International Commerce, Diego has been instrumental in developing the North American market for Onyx Solar, one of the world-leading companies in building integrated photovoltaics. For the past seven years, Diego has introduced the Onyx?s PV Glass to the most prominent architecture and engineering firms in the world, such as Foster+Partners, Gensler, SOM, KPF, RVAPC, HOK, HKS; he has helped them understanding the characteristics of PV Glass and its value proposition. Under his leadership, Onyx Solar has signed contracts and supplied its photovoltaic glass to customers such as Apple Inc, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Miami Heat, Coca-Cola, Hines, and Heineken and others.
