The Skylight system ensure an optimized PV electrical generation adding multifunctional passive bioclimatic properties of thermal inner comfort since most of the UV and infrared radiation from the sun will be harvested by the silicon-based material (solar filter effect). Moreover, the air chamber of the insulating glass guarantees best thermal performance in terms of U and g values.

In other words, the skylight provides a multifunctional solution where not only energy is being generated in-situ, but also natural illumination is being provided implementing solar control by filtering effect, avoiding infrared and UV irradiation to the interior (enhancing thermal comfort and avoiding interior aging).

 

 

Onyx Solar is nominated for the Sustainable Energy Europe Awards Competition 2011 for its photovoltaic skylight installed on the Market of San Anton (Madrid), which avoids the emissions of 5 tons of CO₂ a year. In addition to that, the company has been selected as official partner by the European Commission for this project.

 

 

Are you dealing with any project where you intend to incorporate a skylight? Did you know that it is possible to produce free electricity from the Sun with those elements while avoiding the emission of tons of CO₂ and improving thermal inner comfort?

Send us your project’s drawings and we will draw up a complete appraisal, containing a proposition of implementation of this cutting edge technology. The appraisal will allow you to analyze the feasibility of the project, together with all the necessary information: estimated cost and estimated generation, pay-back time, internal rate of return (IRR) and others.
