Power Glass - The Next Level of Tech.

Specification


The device structure and layer thickness of CdTe, enables selective scribing of the modules; thereby allowing the desired amount of light through. This also makes it easy to manufacture semi-transparent solar PV panels.


The scribe line spacing can be adjusted, for uniform light transmission. The finished product looks just like tinted glass, and can be differently shaded, depending on the level of transparency.

Power Glass

While facade glass and Power Glass may look alike, only Power Glass generates electricity. Here's how they compare, on a number of other parameters:

Product Green Benefits Maintenance Power Generation Payback Time Colours
Conventional Façade Glass No Special Benefits Simple and easy X No revenue from regular Glass Limited Options
Power Glass Renenewable energy system. Green points. Same as regular Glass. Easy Generates electricity Power glass generates revenue with 8-10 yrs of payback time. (additional cost) Vast of choice of colors and laser scribed designs

* The cost indicated here is for a particular project, and may differ from project to project based on its parameters.

The Power Glass Palette

Fire Your Imagination


Standard CdTe modules have a uniformity colour, viz. pure black, which is excellent in appearance, and fits best on buildings with higher visual standards, unity and energy-independence.


Power Glass, on the other hand is available in any colour featured on the international colour chart. Now, just let your imagination run riot.


Sizing and Transparency

Power Glass modules are available in the standard size:

Standard Size
Module Dimensions Weight
L1200 x W600 x D6.8mm 11.8kgs

Customised Sizes
Module Dimensions Weight
L1200 x W1800 x D16.7mm 39.8kgs
L3000 x W600 x D16.7mm 39.8kgs
L1200 x W2400* x D16.7mm 39.8kgs

The level of panel transparency (10%, 20%, 30%, etc.) can be customised, by controlling the spacing between the solar cells.

Ordering, Installation and Guarantees.


Ordering: is as easy as ordering regular glass. If Power Glass is specified at the initial stage of the facade design, it can be delivered within mutually agreed timelines. Contact our company representative to workout the technicalities.


Installation: is identical to a regular glass facade system. Conventional glass is simply replaced with solar glass. The electrical components of the solar glass facade system will be installed by trained company engineers.


Guarantee: 25 years power output guarantee; 90% of nominal output during first 10 years and 80% over 25 years. 10 years guarantee on materials and workmanship.



Advantages of Power Glass

Power Glass for a building's facade, has a number of unique advantages. Replace your building's glass facades by Power Glass - Solar Panels


  • Regular Silicon Roof Top Panel being opaque can't be used as wall facades, but these new solar panels can occupy maximum surface area of your building without obstructing the sun light as well as generating more energy.
  • Using transparent solar PV glass on the facade and opaque solar PV glass panels on the roof top, and integrating PV modules for tapping solar power. The heat load of the building can substantially be reduced, while increasing the power-generating capacity of a high rise buildings.
  • Tall buildings have a facade surface area that's greater than that of the roof top; thereby enabling the generation of significantly more electricity with a Power Glass facade.
  • As compared to a crystalline silicon solar module, a Power Glass CdTe thin film module generates 5-10% more on an average, of electricity a year.
  • Power Glass robust design can handle all kinds of weather conditions.
  • The transparency of Power Glass, can be customised, thereby eliminating the need of using curtains/ vanishing blinds / films, sun protection glass, thermal insulation glass, etc.
  • Power Glass transforms your glass facade to a renewable energy system, which in turn will enhance your green building ratings.
