Get Stoventec Photovoltaic Generating Energy From Your Facade

Photovoltaic panels are installed for the conversion of thermal energy into electricity, while solar panels convert solar radiation into heat. This is why these solutions do not compete with each other. Instead, they may complement each other.

Solar cells, also called photovoltaic cells, convert sunlight directly into electricity. Photovoltaics (often shortened as PV) gets its name from the process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage), which is called the photovoltaic effect.

You will find that solar panels come in many sizes, ranging from large commercial modules that are nearly 7 feet tall to compact and portable panels that fit in your pocket. In general, the vast majority can be classified into three main types: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and thin-film.

Solar panels can be used as solar facade cladding solution that fits both new facades (for integration) and existing facades for renovation or update of facade, turning it to energy efficient building solution.

Photovoltaics in energy-generating facades And these are fully autonomous solutions. The main place of integration is on the façade, where BIPVs become part of the structural and aesthetical integrated part of the building's overall design.
