Visually appealing facades that also help buildings achieve net zero
Helping the world become carbon-neutral is a declinate balancing act – especially with buildings, which account for no less than 30% of greenhouse gas emission in some countries.
The global solar market is expected to expand by a phenomenal 10% over the next five years.
Due to recent regulations, solar installations will start popping up on all kinds of buildings and surfaces, in all kinds of places using black, blue, or grey panels.
But that doesn’t automatically mean we have to spoil the appearance of the buildings, countryside, and urban skyscapes around us.
ColorquantTM Technology: style and performance.
Fitting a building facade or roof with solar panels that include ColorQuantTM technology typically offers a stylish, reasonably priced, and highly effective option for reducing the carbon footprint of buildings:
/ An amazing variety of unique colours
/ Effects that mimic facades and rooftops
/ Easy process integration in standard solar module manufacturing
/ Little compromise when it comes to photovoltaic effectiveness
/ Overall expenditure on a par with other modern glass facades, roofs and even utility installations
Process integration
ColorQuantTM technology can be integrated as colored encapsulants (the material used to deliver adhesion between solar cells) – color and efficiency will not be impacted over time.
Technical background
ColorQuantTM technology works by adding photonic layers to solar units, fundamentally charging their appearance compared to traditional panels.
Unlike other technologies ColorQuantTM only reflects the part of the visual light needed for the color impression – thus it has a low impact on module efficiency.
