Metsolar
BIPV glass modules and solar panels
We produce exclusive BIPV solar panels, varying in shape, size, color and transparency to provide architects and solar designers with cost efficient energy solutions, which price can be compared to standard construction materials. In addition to manufacturing BIPV modules, Metsolar will professionally consult in development of custom solar solution to meet the design and energy requirements for buildings powered with integrated photovoltaics.

About
BIPV Glass / Glass
BIPV glass solar modules are valued for their properties of longevity and resistancy to environmental conditions. Therefore glass/glass module technology is recognized and are most commonly used solution in the BIPV market. Not only are these modules a great construction material for buildings, but having energy generation in mind, allows such building to stand out in emerging smart city environment. BIPV glass panel customization options from Metsolar provides architects with freedom of choice to design and implement visually unique energy efficient solar facades. While on the other hand building developers receive additional returns from energy generation of such building facade, savings from solar subsidies and increased interest and demand of such building.

Besides standard BIPV glass modules Metsolar offer variety of glass module options.
1
Full black modules
Visually attractive modules are often used when complete fusion and invisibility are required. Although this technology has lower light transmission and energy generation properties compared to transparent glass modules.
- With satin glass
- With float glass

Terracotta / Red tile modules
Terracotta glass modules are often used for BIPV projects to achieve exceptional solar facade design or as a roof solution, in most cases acting as a terra cotta style roof tile. In some cases this solution is chosen for projects that focuses on architectural heritage or old town areas where strong limitations are present.
- With terracotta colored glass

Colored glass modules
Using Kromatix™ solar glass delivered by SwissINSO building facade truly stands out. Installation advantages of using such colored glass option is that solar cells are almost invisible.
