Armor solar power films GmbH from Kitzingen (Bavaria), known under the brand name ASCA, has developed a new technology with which organic solar cells (OPV) can be integrated quickly, easily and flexibly into any glass format and any façade.
Flat glass processor BGT Bischoff Glastechnik GmbH from Bretten near Karlsruhe is now offering the transparent, energy-generating glass modules to the global construction industry. In addition to the OPV components, Armor ASCA is also responsible for planning system integration, from cable routing and connection technology to the inverter. The solar power is fed into the public grid or consumed directly.
While the balustrades are transparent from the inside, privacy is guaranteed from the outside. The solar power is produced by the carbon-based organic solar cells, which Armor ASCA applies in very thin layers to fine films using a special printing process.
In contrast to conventional crystalline solar cells, the organic solar films are bendable, flexible, transparent and customizable. The solar film can be produced in blue, green, gray or red. There are also no limits to flexibility in terms of shape, length, size and design.
