Series of publications by Hochparterre on solar architecture – January 2021

Amidst sunny mountains

In the Alps, air is fresh and clear and the efficiency of solar installations high. This special edition examines the compatibility of photovoltaic modules with the mountain landscape and their architectural potential. To find out, we interviewed experts and visited some of the outdoor structures that have already been built. One such virtuous example is an electricity supplier in Grisons, which produces the electricity needed for its business, both on the roof and on the facade.

The publication is not available in English, but is available in German, French and Italian as a print or pdf version.
