The flat glass processor BGT Bischoff Glastechnik from Bretten near Karlsruhe is now offering a complete building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) solution to the global construction industry, consisting of transparent, energy-generating glass modules. In addition to providing the facade components based on organic photovoltaics (OPV), Armor Asca also takes care of the system integration, from cable routing and connection technology to the inverter. The solar electricity is fed into the power grid or consumed directly.

In contrast to conventional crystalline solar cells, the organic solar foils are bendable, flexible, transparent and designable. According to the manufacturer, the solar film can be produced in blue, green, grey or red. There are also no limits to flexibility in terms of shape, length, size and design.
