About this material

Transparent Solar Cells

In their development Sunways AG have concentrated on the combination of transparency, shading and power generation.

These transparent Solar Cells establish a connection between the inside and the outside of a building: When looked at from the outside, they act as a one-sided protection against the sun and from view. From the inside, their transparency provides a complete view of the outside. The incoming daylight is not distorted, thus creating a open, bright atmosphere. The shading effect reduces the energy consumption required for cooling buildings with transparent façades. The up-to-date, aesthetic material and the various available colours (blue, black, grey, purple) open up a wealth of applications.
