Page last modified

April 11 2024

ZigZagSolar is an energy harvesting Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) system unlimited in every aspect of design & engineering. Zigzagsolar is the next generation energy-harvesting architectural facade with all the pros of both a PV-system and an architectural facade. Harvest energy in a future-proof and aesthetically pleasing design maintaining maximum freedom of design for architects. By a combination of pv-panels facing the sun and tilted decorative panels the electric yield will be increased and the solar panels will be invisibly integrated into the building.

Pros & Limitations

Unlimited creative architectural design options

Outstanding support

Proven success

Innovative architectural facades

Reducing fossil energy consumption

Optimized orientation

Always start by installing solar applications on your roof

ZigZagSolar is a complete facade system therefore it should only be specified as a facade system. If there is no need for a facade, then ZigZagSolar is more expensive than a roof top system or a solar park

accurate guaranteed yield for any building on any location, for new built or refurbishment, for commercial or residential

harvests solar energy, blocks heat, blocks unwanted radiation, looks good, unrestricted view through windows
