Introduction
The patio of the Alzira Town Hall in the Valencia area was renovated by integrating BIPV modules in a skylight.
Aesthetic integration
The photovoltaic skylight has a uniform appearance thanks to the thin amorphous silicon film in the BIPV modules.
Technology integration
The BIPV (Onyx Solar) modules are the glass-glass type and have a thin inner amorphous silicon film with 10% semi-transparency (M-vision). The skylight allows light to pass through, providing natural illumination to the patio below while ensuring a solar factor (g) between 5% and 40%, making it an excellent choice for preventing the greenhouse effect, especially in a hot climate such as that found in Valencia.
Energy integration
The estimated photovoltaic production is approximately 1,000 kWh per year. The energy produced is partially stored in an electric storage system to be then used by the various systems in the building and partially transferred to the network.
Lessons learnt
It is estimated that the energy produced can prevent the emission of almost one tonne of CO2 per year.
