The last IPCC report on global warming is alarming and clearly shows that integrating photovoltaics to buildings is no more a luxury, but a vital step. The acceptance of solar energy systems as integrated elements of the building’s envelope is mainly limited by their unpleasant visual aspect, they are often considered as technical components to be hidden and confined to roof-top applications. SwissINSO is a pioneer in the development and application of new solar technologies and products targeted at enhancing the aesthetics and overall efficiency of Building Integrated Photovoltaic and Thermal solar energy solutions. Developed in partnership with the EPFL (Swiss Polytechnic Institute), KromatixTM technology offers the only attractive alternative to today’s black and dark blue panels, without compromising on performance, efficiency, or architectural design. KromatixTM solar glass is available in various tuneable colours (all colours are virtually possible, white and sparkling red excepted) and has a beautiful opaque finish, making the inner workings of the solar panels are invisible and thus further enhancing the overall aesthetics of the panel.
