Contemporary architecture is showing an increasing interest in different materials for use in ventilated walls and roofs. Our Onyx ventilated photovoltaic (PV) facades and roofs are of aesthetically value and unbeatable in terms of heat insulation, saving up to 40% of the energy required by the structure. Apart from this, the ventilated photovoltaic (PV) façade and roofs have a unique added value: producing free electricity from the sun for consumption or sale.

For example, in Marseille, one single square meter of ventilated roof would generate more than 1.000 EUR of income and will mitigate the emission of more than 10 tons of CO₂ during its lifetime.

Utilizing a financial perspecive, thanks to these two unique characteristics, and subject to the type of building and its location, our ventilated photovoltaic facade or roof can achieve an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) superior to 25% and a payback period inferior to 5 years.
