BIPV Facade Systems & Material Offsets

Spandrel Glass or Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP)

Opaque, high-efficiency black CdTe spandrel module engineered for maximum power density on non-vision facade zones.

NRCan Edmonton reference yield: 58 kWh/m²/yr (vertical south, CdTe at rated Pmax). Yields vary with cell density and glaze transparency — opaque spandrel outperforms vision zones.

Illustrative ~58 MWh/yr at 1,000 m² (Edmonton, south-facing vertical).

Supports LEED v4.1 EA Renewable Energy Production when modelled in the whole-building energy study. Material supply only — confirm BIPV contribution with your energy consultant.

• Replaces inert spandrel and ACM with active generation
• Ideal for data centers and logistics hubs
• CdTe linear shading performance in urban canyons
• 11 g CO₂/kWh vs 67 g/kWh for conventional c-Si

Natural Stone or Precast Concrete

Semi-transparent architectural laminate with high-fidelity imitation textures — stone and masonry aesthetics with active generation.

NRCan Edmonton reference yield: 38.6 kWh/m²/yr (vertical south, CdTe at rated Pmax). Yields vary with cell density and glaze transparency — opaque spandrel outperforms vision zones.

Illustrative ~39 MWh/yr at 1,000 m² (Edmonton, south-facing vertical).

Supports LEED v4.1 EA Renewable Energy Production when modelled in the whole-building energy study. Material supply only — confirm BIPV contribution with your energy consultant.

• Custom stone, brick, and wood texture emulation
• Eliminates expensive natural material sourcing
• Integrates into standard curtain wall framing
• 11 g CO₂/kWh vs 67 g/kWh for conventional c-Si

High-end Triple-Pane Vision Glass

28mm Insulated Glass Unit with 12mm argon fill and Low-E thermal shield — vision glass that generates power.

NRCan Edmonton reference yield: 42.5 kWh/m²/yr (vertical south, CdTe at rated Pmax). Yields vary with cell density and glaze transparency — opaque spandrel outperforms vision zones.

Illustrative ~43 MWh/yr at 1,000 m² (Edmonton, south-facing vertical).

Supports LEED v4.1 EA Renewable Energy Production when modelled in the whole-building energy study. Material supply only — confirm BIPV contribution with your energy consultant.

• 11 g CO₂/kWh vs 67 g/kWh for conventional c-Si

Skylights, Balcony Railings, and Atrium Glass

17mm dual-layer tempered safety laminate rated for structural applications — safety glass that powers your building.

NRCan Edmonton reference yield: 52.2 kWh/m²/yr (vertical south, CdTe at rated Pmax). Yields vary with cell density and glaze transparency — opaque spandrel outperforms vision zones.

Illustrative ~52 MWh/yr at 1,000 m² (Edmonton, south-facing vertical).

Supports LEED v4.1 EA Renewable Energy Production when modelled in the whole-building energy study. Material supply only — confirm BIPV contribution with your energy consultant.
