Architectural Solar Projects & Design References
Explore how photovoltaic products can respond to different architectural designs, materials and building applications.
From distinctive building façades to customized colors and material-inspired appearances, explore selected architectural references and product design directions for your next project.
Selected Architectural References
Every building presents a different set of architectural and technical requirements. These selected references illustrate how photovoltaic products may be considered within different building designs.
Photovoltaic Glass for a Landmark Façade
A blue photovoltaic glass façade illustrates how solar products can become part of a building’s visual identity rather than remaining a separate technical element.
Application focus: façade appearance, color requirements and architectural integration.
Photovoltaics for Residential Architecture
Residential projects may call for a closer relationship between photovoltaic products, wall finishes and the overall architectural material palette.
Application focus: residential façades, material coordination and project-specific appearance.
