The health center of Punta Arenas will soon exhibit a new façade that will generate its own free clean energy thanks to our photovoltaic glasses.

The building will incorporate a new curtain wall photovoltaic crystalline silicon to generate energy and store it for later use.The semi-transparency degrees of the glasses allow the entry of natural light into the interior, reducing the need of using artificial lighting.As a result, this will reduce energy consumption.

Despite the low solar radiation in this area and thanks to the efficiency of Onyx Solar’s solutions, the curtain wall will generate approximately 35 kWh per year and per m2 from the Sun.
