Description
The building, the roof, the facade as well as the technology, merge into a distinctive multifunctional architectural solar envelope. Amidst the externally visible and supporting exoskeleton, which defines the shape of the house, there are 890 modules in three different lengths, each with up to six mono-crystalline photovoltaic cells between the double glass supports, fixed to a secondary metal structure with a simple clamping structure. These PV modules are complemented with 311 dummy modules to create a uniform appearance of the surfaces between the exoskeleton. For a better energy yield, the modules on the southwest and northeast facing roof surfaces were oriented to the south, resulting in a solar roof power output of 21.9 kWp.
