Onyx Solar has been awarded for launching the first low-e photovoltaic glass. It is a glass that improves insulation and lowers the electricity bill in buildings up to 90%     Besides producing free clean energy from the Sun, Onyx Solar’s low emissivity photovoltaic glass equals or exceeds the properties of similar conventional glass:· U-Value: up to 0,13 BTU/hft2Fª (0,74W/m2K)· Solar Factor/SHGC: from 10 to 40%, which makes our photovoltaic glass a perfect candidate in order to achieve a suitable balance between inner temperature andHVAC energy savings.· Selective UV and IR Harmful Radiation Filter: it filters 85 to 95% out of the total infrared radiation and 99% of the ultraviolet radiation.· Light Transmission: transparency levels ranging from 10 to 30%, which allow the entry of natural light.· Exterior Reflection: from 7 to 9%.For additional information about this innovative building material, please download our Low-E Photovoltaic Glass Technical Guide.
