Solar facades from SolarLab seamlessly integrate on-site energy production within the building’s skin, offering an aesthetic alternative to traditional facade cladding and rooftop PV installations. These custom-designed solar facades provide design flexibility in panelization, mounting geometry, color, finish, and texture.
Copenhagen International School Case Study
The Copenhagen International School’s custom solar facade features 12,000 identical panels, supplying approximately 50% of the school’s energy needs. Each panel is tilted at just 4 degrees and randomly rotated to create a dynamic facade. With nano-coated and anisotropic colored cladding, the facade generates 160Wp of installed effect per square meter. Additionally, the satinated finish ensures self-cleaning properties and low glare.
