EWZ
Zurich
EWZ, Zurich’s electricity company commissioned Solaxess, in collaboration with 3S Swiss Solar Solutions AG for the manufacture of photovoltaic panels in 2021. Solaxess integrated terracotta-colored films on two south-oriented surfaces on a protected building in the city center. The building, which is partly occupied by a unit of the security department of the City of Zurich, had certain standards and visual constraints to be met, since it is part of the city’s historic center.
The energy generated by the system is sufficient to meet the daily needs of around 25 to 30 households. It provides a consistent and sustainable energy supply, ensuring these families have access to reliable power for their essential activities.
The technology is a nanotechnology polymer foil. This allows PV modules to appear white or colored to the human eye and yet retain excellent power output. As a result, Solaxess provides a solution for renewable energy integration into the built environment. Developers, architects, and ultimately owners have the possibility to integrate photovoltaic energy perfectly on façades and roofs with white or light-colored active full building elements that are cost effective, durable and aesthetically pleasing. It is compatible with flexible/curved surfaces and can be adapted to any size and shape required by design.
