Onyx Solar Energy

Onyx Solar is the global leader for building integrated photovoltaic glass, which is used or the replacement of conventional construction materials. A transparent or colored glass capable of generating clean and free energy from the sun, for installation on façades, curtain walls, skylights or even floors, which enables the building of our cities to generate their own energy, for a minimal outlay. It offers a-SI, and mono and poly-crystalline photovoltaic glasses that allows the entrance of sunlight while filtering out 99% of UV radiation, 95% of infrared radiation, insulating the building both thermally and acoustically. Thus their photovoltaic glass achieves an average reduction of 48% in the energy consumption of the buildings, attaining an electrical cost of less than one cent. This investment is not only a huge step towards sustainability, but it is also highly worthwhile financially, as the outlay is recovered in a matter of months, and it provides an average Internal Rate of Return of 70%. In this link you will find the Feasibility Studies of their solutions in more than 140 cities: http://onyxsolar.com/map/ROI/ With over 70 projects executed in the five continents, they have taken part in large-scale projects for leading companies such as Samsung, Coca-Cola, Pfizer and Novartis, who are already enjoying the benefits of our glass in their buildings. They also provide advice to preeminent architect worldwide, such as Norman Foster, Frank Gehry, SOM, KPF, ASGG or Rafael Vinoly, and they have worked for the most important construction companies in the world such as ACS, Skanska, Turner, Jacobs or Ferrovial.
