Kromatix specializes in the design of innovative building materials in the form of colored solar facades. Combining aesthetics and performance, Kromatix aims to optimize the capture of solar energy to create attractive and elegant buildings. This approach allows renewable energy to be generated directly at the point of consumption, reducing transmission losses and promoting a sustainable future. Kromatix's major innovation is its unique colored glass processing for photovoltaic (PV) panels. Unlike traditional coloring methods such as screen printing, painting, or the use of pigments, Kromatix uses atomic deposition to transform solar glass into tinted glass. This process gives Kromatix products remarkable durability and resistance to degradation caused by UV rays. Thanks to this innovative technology, Kromatix solar panels offer reduced efficiency losses and optimal performance, ensuring a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing energy solution for modern buildings.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Recycling of PV modules at the end of their life cycle
- •0% of toxic product on Kromatix glass to get the color
- •For rooftop solar installations, the IPCC established that emissions associated to generate 1kWh of electricity are 41g CO2eq, nearly 12times lower than natural gas and 20 times lower than coal
The Financial Benefits
- •Get a facade that can be paid-back instead of a passive facade
- •Off 30 – 40% higher energy production than printed / enameled glass
