Rethinking Building Skins!
Facade PV System with Laminated Safety Glass
Solar facade for sustainable energy and modern design
PVACADE redefines the future of building skins by seamlessly combining solar energy with architectural excellence.
As a fully integrated photovoltaic facade system made of laminated safety glass, PVACADE offers unparalleled performance, safety, and design freedom—delivering energy-efficient buildings without compromising on aesthetics.
PVACADE is not just a product—it is a statement. A statement for sustainability, innovation, and creative freedom for architects and developers alike.
Two systems – maximum flexibility
Solar facade in hook-in or sandwich design
Our solar facade is available in two versions and can be optimally adapted to architectural, technical, and energy requirements.
Clips-in facade
The proven system for easy installation in a pre-assembled substructure impresses with its quick assembly and high adaptability. Ideal for new buildings or renovations with different wall structures.
sandwich panel
The second variant combines PV modules and insulation in a compact sandwich construction. With panel thicknesses of up to 200 mm, it is particularly robust and versatile—available as either smooth or stepped panels.

Frequently asked questions about solar facades
What exactly is a solar facade?
A solar facade is a facade solution with integrated photovoltaics. Solar modules are installed directly into the building envelope, so that the facade not only serves as exterior cladding, but also actively generates solar power.
What are the advantages of a solar facade?
The solar facade combines design, energy efficiency, and sustainability in one system. Its most important advantages include:
Energy generation via the facade:
Electricity is generated not only via the roof, but also via the facade surfaces. With the solar facade, outputs of up to approx. 200 Wp/m² are possible.
Architectural freedom:
The system allows for custom module sizes and designs. Panels can be finished in wood, metal, or natural stone looks and are also available in special colors or with custom prints upon request.Das System emögli individulle Modlgößen und Designs. Pneeekönnen in Holz-, Metall- oder Natursteinoptik ausgeüht wrdn un sind auf Wunsch auch in Snderfarben oder it individuellen Drucken erhältlich.
Sustainability & Energy Efficiency:
The solar facade contributes to local electricity generation directly on the building and can help meet legal requirements such as the Building Energy Act (GEG) or net-zero standards.
Design and technology in one element:
The façade is not only a design highlight, but also a functional component for energy generation—a harmonious combination of aesthetics and technology.
Can I also have a solar facade retrofitted?
How are the solar modules integrated into the facade?
Our system is available in two versions that can be flexibly adapted to different architectural and technical requirements:
Hinged facade:
In this variant, the modules are hooked into pre-assembled substructures. The system can also be implemented with insulation thicknesses of up to 200 mm and is ideal for renovations or new buildings with high energy requirements.
Sandwich panel:
This design combines PV modules in a sandwich construction and is particularly suitable for post-and-beam facades. The panels are available in either smooth or stepped versions and enable precise, uniform facade design.
How much electricity can a solar facade generate?
A solar facade achieves an output of up to approx. 200 Wp per square meter of facade area.
A solar facade achieves an output of up to approx. 200 Wp per square meter of facade area.
What are the benefits of a PV facade?
One solar facade turns the building envelope into an active source of electricity – elegantly integrated and ideal for new buildings or renovations. It uses solar radiation on south, east, and west-facing surfaces, thereby permanently reducing energy costs. Especially in single-family homes, it increases self-consumption and ensures greater independence from the electricity market.
Example: Single-family home
Active facade area: 70 m²
Total output: 14 kWp
Annual yield: approx. 6,500 kWh
Electricity price: $0.32/kWh
Annual savings: approximately €2,000
For which types of buildings is a solar facade suitable?
Our system is versatile and suitable for a wide range of building types.
Office and commercial real estate – ideal for combining modern architecture and sustainable energy generation.
Public and cultural institutions – for example, schools, administrative buildings, or museums that are to be upgraded in terms of energy efficiency and design.
Architecturally sophisticated residential buildings – for builders who want to combine design and energy efficiency.
Retrofitting and energy-efficient renovations – Existing buildings can also be modernized and optimized for energy efficiency with solar facades.
new buildings with high design requirements, energy efficiency and sustainability – in particular projects that focus on future standards such as "Net-Zero" are aligned.
