This is a photovoltaic glass whose cell density was totally customised, in accordance with the client’s design, to allow the entry of daylight. In this way, the glass, which incorporates monocrystalline silicon cells, features a degree of transparency of 70%, enabling the passage of a large amount of light into the building while generating sufficient energy to supply 300 lights for 4 hours each day.
