VidurSolar photovoltaic glass modules are the technical and creative solution to the limits of photovoltaic power generation in the design of architectural projects.

Glazed covers - SkylightsWhen used to cover buildings glass-glass PV modules permit extraordinary design possibilities both for the cover and for the interior space through selective light transmission. |
 |
PV pergolas and parking shedsAs with closed covers, double-glass PV modules are also strongly indicated for building translucent pergolas. The same safety requirements must be applied if an area frequented by persons is to be covered. An effect that is particularly appreciated in this application is the anti-glare character of the PV modules which makes the space below the pergola a pleasant meeting place in summer. |
|
Curtain wallsVidurSolar photovoltaic glass modules are perfectly suitable for fitting as curtain walls as they meet all the requirements for façades of this kind in conventional construction. |
|
Double skin curtain wallsThe ventilated façade benefits from the same design possibilities of glass-glass PV modules as the curtain wall. In this case there is the option of a PV laminated for the external skin of the façade. As well as optimising the thermal behaviour of the building, this kind of façade, also slightly improves the electricity generation through the back ventilation of the PV modules increasing the efficiency of the cells. |
|
Rain screens – ventilated façadesGlass-glass PV modules are also used as façade cladding elements owing to their properties of robustness and appearance. For example, opaque modules can be used with a dark, white or coloured background combining it with different kinds of cell. |

|
Brise-soleils and canopiesIn many buildings with large glazed façades brise-soleils or canopies for solar protection made of metal or of treated glass are used. Glass-glass PV modules offer an interesting alternative for this kind of application as they convert these elements into energy generators while performing the solar protection function. More |

Other applicationsApart from structural integration PV glass modules can be used as a decorative element owing to its greater elegance and translucency compared to standard PV modules. More |
Modern building envelope design is facing are facing great challenges as heavy requirements are placed on them. Shorter assembly times, ease of maintenance of the envelope, physical values of thermal insulation and reduction of the thermal load of the building are just some of the priorities. With VidurSolar photovoltaic glass modules you can satisfy all these requirements. These modules are available as single laminated glass or double glazing units, that can be combined with most of the common façade construction systems on the market.
Our strategy is based on 5 key-points:
- Total flexibility for a creative design, Production completely customized.
- Photovoltaic construction elements that substitute directly conventional construction elements without the need of adaptations in the structural support system.
- Maximum resistance against breakage and fall using high-tech PVB-foils as interlayers. So, our products are specially indicated for overhead glazing.
- Compliance with the norms of the construction sector and the photovoltaic sector.
- Technical assistance throughout the whole project cycle.
