Solar pylon for Porsche

SOLAR STRUCTURAL GLAZING FOR PORSCHE

Developed by a2-solar

Since very recently, a unique kind of solar power system is towering above the new Porsche Center in Berlin, thus standing as a new symbol of sustainable and innovative incentives.

With a total surface of approximately 270sqm and a height of 25m, the solar pylon can generate up to 30.000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a year under ideal conditions. The 172 glass-glass solar modules produced by a2-solar have been mounted in an innovative structural-glazing technology to a steel tower. a2-solar has designed, developed and produced the special double-glass modules as seamless modules of 2x6mm glasses as well as the special back-contact connection system in tight co-operation with the Porsche AG, the architects of CMP and the German façade construction specialist Glas Wagener. Thanks to the particular back-contact mounting profiles which have been designed specifically for fixing these modules in a frameless way onto the steel construction, the solar modules are merely separated by ultrathin gaps so that you only see one homogenous glass surface without any aesthetically disturbing holding clips – a perfect fusion of design and functionality.

Due to the ENEV regulations, all buildings and facades are to be equipped with energy-saving components in the future. a2-solar has specialised in how to meet these requirements.
