Completed metamorphosis

Solar modules are concluding their development towards a freely designable building material. The design of this building material starts with the vision of the overall project. Three steps lead from the central idea to the solar module.

1. The grid defines the shape, size and power of the solar modules

Rectangles, triangles, polygons, circles, curves, cut-outs: the free choice of the solar modules’ geometries is the starting point for the design. The measurements range from 200 x 300 mm to 2400 x 4150 mm. Glass thicknesses of 2-12 mm per pane can be processed. Cost advantages are achieved by using the standard size of 1669 x 999 x 8 mm. The degree of hardening (TVG, ESG) can be chosen freely.


2. The appearance determines the surface of the solar modules

The full spectrum of the material «glass» is available for the design. Structures and finishes of surfaces are possible, along with the targeted use of reflections. The solar glasses «Fjord» and «Crystal» are the basis of most integrated solar modules, due to their subtle structuring and highest efficiency. This structuring ensures a high light transmission and minimal glare.


3. The character results from the colours and their intensity
Fine Line Totally Black Translucent
The classical pinstriped look allows accents with the help of technology. This design option is the most efficient both in terms of performance and costs. y moving the busbars (cell contacts) to the backside, discretion can be increased, so that the technology is only visible at second glance. Solar modules with translucent cell spacing for open structures. The degree of light transmission and output performance can be balanced by adapting the cell spacing.

Fine Art
Colour: The colour of the solar modules is open. It is possible to design with light pastel tones, as well as with rich earthy tones. Three sources can be used for the choice of colour:

> Colour chart (time and cost-efficient)
> NCS colour chart (wide colour spectrum)
> Individual colour development (completely open)
 
High colour intensities (opacity) make the cell structure disappear, keeping the solar secret of the building envelope. Light intensities, on the other hand, allow a technoid impression and performance up to 95% of a conventional solar module (up to 200 Wp/m2).

It is possible to create and order individual samples. The following color charts are also available.



Upgrade ZeroReflect

The acceptance of solar installations among the population is very high. It is reinforced constantly with new types of designs and unrestricted individualisation options. ZeroReflect is a surface developed in the Megasol design laboratory that is glare- and reflection-free – regardless of the installation situation, angle or time of day.
It is used for particularly high demands in terms of «glare-free» solar modules. These include special installation situations, sensitive, subjective perception or regulatory restrictions (e.g. traffic junctions).
