Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) has launched Solarvolt building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) glass modules, which combine the aesthetics and performance of Vitro Glass products with CO2-free power generation and protection from the elements for commercial buildings. The modules can be used to enhance various components of commercial building exteriors, including balustrades and balconies, overhead glazing and skylights, façades and opacified spandrel glass—all while passively generating solar power, reducing air-conditioning costs and even replacing conventional cladding materials. To meet a wide range of design and environmental performance targets, Solarvolt BIPV modules can be used with virtually any Vitro Glass product, and performance can be further optimized by using Solarban solar control, low-e coatings.
