view of the roof with photovoltaic clouds
The glazed roof of the building incorporates 10.000m2 of photovoltaic modules providing 1MW Solar Power Generation Sattion.
Forming clouds patterns, the photovoltaic modules provide shading and protect from glare and direct solar radiation. The density of photovoltaic cells per panel vary from 58 to 86% and thus their energy production varies accordingly from 192-416Wp per panel. Solar panels are also incorporated into the west facade of the envelope.
600 inventers transform the DC current to AC current which can be fed back to the general grid. The nergy generated is far in excess of what is required by the building itself (750.000Kwh).
