The integration of photovoltaic modules into the building envelope is the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional infill panels. Schuco PROSOL system technology offers extraordinary possibilities in solar architecture which set new standards in design and efficiency.

Unlike standard modules, Schuco PROSOL PV modules are tailor-made to architectural requirements, with individual design in terms of shape, colour and optical structure. Because these modules are integrated into the building, they can perform the same functions as conventional in-fill units - in every part of the building envelope. Schuco synergy facades and skylights offer efficient, environmentally friendly energy generation with the very highest standards of security, comfort and design.

Standardised installation and fixing components ensure the highest possible standards of fabrication and therefore of quality.

Applications and options

The use of made-to-measure Schuco PV modules offers numerous options for innovatively combining individual architecture with modern solar energy use:

• Ventilated facade
• Ventilated/non-ventilated facade
• Non-ventilated facade
• Skylight construction
• Canopy
• Solar shading
• Balcony
• Conservatory

Skylight construction

Multi-functional insert units in skylight constructions allow PV modules to be used in top architectural solutions with wide-ranging interior and exterior designs. As semi-transparent canopies, they provide protection against heat, sun, glare and adverse weather whilst also permitting the targeted use of natural light. High solar yields are ensured thanks to large surface areas with optimised tilt angles.

Efficient building envelopes of the future

The use of Schuco PV modules offers numerous options for combining use of solar energy with ambitious, prestigious architecture – whether in facades, skylights and canopies or in balconies, conservatories for solar shading and anti-glare protection. As a leading provider of solar products, Schuco is able to offer tried-and-tested technology from its own quality factory. New concepts can be realised for innovative solar architecture – using system technology and with every component from a single source.
