Mage Sunovation GmbH, manufacturer of solar modules for architectural use, introduces an innovative light-emitting diode (LED) solar power façade made of glass-to-glass modules. Solar panels are becoming more and more popular for use in designing façades. The specially designed modules can be used as building elements in the same way as glass, stone, plaster, etc. These modules are also suitable for canopies and shading solutions.
Mage Sunovation has equipped the façade of an industrial production company with 112 Sunovation eForm façade panels, as shown in the photo, in Flörsheim near Frankfurt, Germany. These glass-to-glass modules measuring 1200 millimetres (mm) × 1200mm were specially designed for the project and were attached to the façade of an industrial hall at an angle of 90°. The modules feature a frosted rear-glass pane and a transparent front-glass pane, backlit by LEDs. Between the glass panes, 49 crystalline 5-inch solar cells are embedded on a surface area of 1.44 square metres, m² (~15.50 square feet, ft²) in a permanently elastic manner using a special production technique. This façade system has a total capacity of 13.5 kilowatts peak (kWp).
The visual effect of the photovoltaic (PV) cells by day is impressive on the façade as it reflects the use of renewable energy. But the integrated LED illumination by night is the highlight of these solar modules. The façade can be brightly illuminated by night, creating an amazing effect at a distance. When equipped with red-green-blue (RGB) LEDs, the panels can be illuminated in various colours, as shown in the photo—perhaps, to reflect the corporate colour scheme or to put the spotlight on a special event.
