Design Options for BIPV Glass Systems

Customize Aesthetics & Performance

Glass Substrates & Low-e Coatings

To meet your design and environmental performance objectives, Solarvolt™ BIPV glass systems can be used with any Vitro low-emissivity (low-e) coating and glass substrate.

Create dynamic, colorful designs with back-painted spandrel glass.

Utilize blue, green, gray and bronze Vitro performance-tinted glasses to realize vibrant designs that complement and harmonize with solar cell arrangements and crystalline silicon formats. Elevate performance with Solarban^® solar control, low-e coatings. Provide exceptional transparency and color rendition with Vitro low-iron glasses. Solarvolt™ BIPV glass systems deliver design freedom and power generation, all in one.

Photovoltaic (PV) Crystalline Silicon Types

Choose from multiple PV crystalline silicon technologies to support your design and performance requirements.

While monocrystalline PV renders a black appearance on solar cells with maximum energy-generation performance, polycrystalline PV delivers a striking blue appearance with slightly reduced performance.

For a patterned appearance and higher visible light transmission while retaining some of the energy generation benefits of monocrystalline PV, striped monocrystalline PV is also available.

Solar Cell Arrangement

Customize arrangement of solar cells in rows, alternating patterns and more.
