At Onyx Solar we develop building integrated photovoltaicmaterials which are used for the replacement of conventionalconstruction materials from different parts of the building’s exteriorsuch as roofs, skylights, windows or façades.

At Onyx Solar we are committed to the study and start-up ofenergy ef cient measures and sustainable technologies whichwill allow us to retro t existing buildings and to design new eco-friendly projects. Our philosophy consists of developing uniqueand elegant solutions for architectural integration, by combiningboth thermal optimization and photovoltaic generation.

Our Building Integrated Photovoltaics –BIPV- systems can turn theroof, the windows or the curtain wall of a building into a complete,multifunctional, high-performing, solar-energy power plant. OnyxSolar counts on the most extensive and innovative approach todesign and implement BIPV applications.

Onyx Solar has launched the rst colored photovoltaic glassadapted to construction standards. From this moment on,photovoltaic energy can be integrated as any other buildingconstruction material, or combined with them into buildings.

There are 4 standard sizes and almost in nite possibilities ofcon guration in color and transparency.

Therefore, Onyx Solar photovoltaic glass can be incorporated inany type of building: Curtain walls, façades, brise soleil, skylights…Even a PV walkable anti-slip oor, a solution developed by OnyxSolar which is already available in the market.

Double glazed photovoltaic insulating units can be incorporatedinto the project providing better thermal insulation properties.

Normally they consist of an external photovoltaic laminated glassof 0.24, 0.32, 0.40, 0.47, 0.59, 0.75 in (6, 8, 10, 12, 15 or 19 mm)thick, an air chamber of 16 mm for a greater thermal insulationperformance, and an inner pane of 6 mm thick glass.

Additionally, Argon lling can be used with the chamber for abetter thermal performance.

DOUBLE GLAZED INSULATING UNITS

TRIPLE GLAZED INSULATING UNITSIn order to achieve even better thermal insulation, triple glazedinsulating units could be considered as a possible solution.Generally they consist of an additional inner pane of 0.24 in (6mm) thick glass which is incorporated into the double glazed unit.

Argon lling can be used with the chamber for a better thermalperformance in the same way that the previous case.

For projects where laminated glass is required, we consider variousoptions in order to meet the customer’s speci cations. Laminatedglass is composed of several panes of glass, bonded together byan interlayer (EVA or PVB normally).

The thickness of the panes uses to be a 0.12, 0.24, 0.40, 0.47, 0.75in (3, 6, 10, 12 or 19 mm) glass which can be toughened and heatsoaked. Additionally, the interlayer material can be adapted inorder to improve the degree of insulation and to provide a widerange of colors, being both necessary in order to achieve a greateracoustic insulation and to meet the aesthetic requirements of theproject.

Laminated safety glass is comprehensibly tested for wind forces,seismic activity or impact resistance, in order to comply with all thefunctional, quality and safety standards required. Also, other testsare carried out in order to comply with additional regulations suchas the UL 1703 certi cation or the International ElectrotechnicalCommission –IEC-.

One of the main applications of our laminated glass consists ofits usage in ventilated photovoltaic façades, roofs and curtainwalls. For an easy and quick installation, we have developed acomplete set of complementary products and services, whichalso allow its installation in any type of project.

Onyx Solar designs multifunctional photovoltaic constructivesolutions with an undeniable aesthetic value, unbeatable in termsof thermal and acoustic insulation that produce clean and freeenergy from the sun.

Onyx Solar follows a complete, empirical methodology for eachproject, ranging from the observation, the diagnosis and theevaluation of several alternatives, to computer simulation, nalsolution development and posterior industrial production. That iswhat we call innovation at 360º.

Following this methodology, both energy variables and photovoltaicgeneration are optimized qualitative and quantitatively, allowing

us to develop the optimal constructive solution possible from theenergy viewpoint (energy saving + electricity production) andalso from the aesthetical one.

UILDING SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS TOOLS

GREEN BUILDINGTECHNICAL CONSULTING SERVICES

Onyx Solar provides technical consulting servicesregarding the eld of green building throughcomputer simulation methods which look for thosesolutions which could reduce energy costs andmitigate the impact on the environment.

Thus, we count on the following service lines:

· Green building consulting and audit services,execution, LEED certi cation, GRIHA, eco-ef cientbuilding, Energy Conservation Building Code, ECBC2007 performance, Building Star Rating Facilitation,etc.

· Building simulation and analysis tools: energybalance, solar analysis, photovoltaic energyproduction, shading and lighting studies, etc.

Onyx Solar is a proud member of the U.S. GreenBuilding Council (USGBC), the Green BuildingCouncil of Spain (GBC España) and other relatedorganizations and associations.

Onyx Solar works with a variety of sources and inputenvironments (BIM models, 3D models, 2D drawings,sketches) and it provides analysis in the areas ofenergy, daylighting or shading effects, and thermal,water, air ow and acoustic studies.

Onyx Solar’s building simulation solutions allow us toaddress the thermodynamic complexities involved inthe design of a building and to evaluate alternativesin advance.

For the rst time, the construction industry counts oncomputer aided tools to get assessments which arevery close to the physically validated results. Simulationprovides a way to assess the bene ts of particularschemes, to improve life cycle performance, andto evaluate several climate change mitigationmeasures.

The main advantage for simulation at the designstage is to integrate the different technical domainsfrom the building and to identify key points in order toget the optimal solution.
