Introducing the First Photovoltaic Glass Unit (PVGU)
Using the design of the standard insulating glass unit (IGU) Pythagoras Solar will deliver the industry’s first transparent and high density PVGU, combining the modularity and insulating benefits of the IGU with PV power generation. It is designed to meet advanced building codes and standards, can be optimized for a variety of uses and are expected to be eligible for incentives due to their energy and environmental benefits.
The first products will be designed for curtain wall and skylight applications. The technology is comprised of three primary elements – patent-pending optics and advanced materials, and proprietary software tools. Pythagoras Solar’s PVGU is a product that uniquely combines 4 times the power density of comparative BIPV technologies, with higher transparency and energy efficiency benefits, in a standard IGU form factor. This brings a new level of design flexibility to the architecture, construction and engineering industries, enabling them to create cost-efficient, aesthetically pleasing, self-powered buildings.
