Here is a deep dive into solar panel technology and the latest industry trends from Satinal, an Italian company that produced interlayers for laminated safety glass. In 2020, they introduced the Strato Solar PV Encapsulants for PV modules. Here, Satinal offer a brief technical explanation of the technology behind such products and their latest offerings.
The Austrian manufacturer Sunbooster has developed bifacial solar strips that can be threaded into existing garden fences. Vertical solar allows harvesting power from the sun particularly when homes need it the most: in the mornings and evenings.
Maltha Glass Recycling, a European company in glass recycling and a subsidiary of Renewi, recently announced the success of a groundbreaking pilot project in collaboration with Saint-Gobain. See here for more details.
A spectacular solar facade was planned and erected for a multi-storey car park in Schkeuditz near Leipzig, Germany. It wasn't just about the look. Many factors played a role, and the right people came together.
Building-integrated PV modules are interesting alternatives to standard facade elements. Experience shows that such PV elements are only accepted by building owners and planners if they are visually appealing. The new ColorQuant glass colours were specifically developed to give PV elements a colourful appearance. Holger Geisler, Managing Director at Ceramic Colors Wolbring GmbH, explains the details.
Italian interlayer manufacturer Satinal announces Strato Solar as its new division for the production of EVA, POE and TPO encapsulating films for solar panels.
The Bucky Lab is a programme by Deflt University of Technology for Master degree facade students. In 2020, the programme was entirely dedicated to BIPV.
With six new PV products from the “SunEwat” series, producer AGC Interpane is now offering new options to generate electricity via the facade. Here facade manufacturers and planners can find out how the PV cells can be hidden behind coatings, printig and more and still work effectivly.
