The Afzelia Wood Activ‘Facade® is a solution developed by Activ‘Glass that aims to equip all buldings with solar technology while applying standard aluminum cladding structural techniques familiar to all facade installers and easily adaptable by standard photovoltaic system installers.
It is a fully integrated solution based on an aluminum facade cladding cassette system developed in close collaboration with SCHWEIZER: FSP-H System (SCH).
The BIPV modules are structuraly bonded to a suspended facade system used for exterior rainscreen cladding of residential, commercial and industrial facilities. The mounting system is either open fastening system or a hidden fastening system. The aluminium cassetes are 2 mm thickness, powder coated or anodized. The BIPV glass is a glass/backsheet module using crystalline Silicone PV cells with the dedicated Terra Cotta texture and colour. The electrical power output is 170 Wp for this BIPV cassette reference.
The Afzelia Wood Activ‘Facade is delivered for FREE to the BIMsolar users community as virtual BIPV and BAPV modules within the BIMsolar libraries.
The BIMsolar BIPV Database has been updated with the simplified version of the ACTIV’FACADE Terra Cotta K7’: BIPV layouting has never been so easy to perform your feasibility studies!
The BAPV Database has been updated as well to provide youu with the best experience with BAPV features.
You will be able to retrieve every reference within your BIMsolar desktop solution.
Just select your favourite BIPV K7’ then design your BIPV facade!
The BIMsolar objects are automatically turned into REVIT families via the BIMsolar REVIT add-ins!

We design customised photovoltaic glass elements for facades and roofs and we outsource the PV cell encapsulation to OEM glass manufacturers in Europe. The company was founded in 2016 in Switzerland by Laurent Quittre, a pioneer in the manufacture of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) modules. Where standard solar panels do not fit, ACTIV'GLASS offers integration solutions with high architectural value that comply with the standards of the construction sector. The main strength of ACTIV'GLASS is its expertise in glass and its ability to support the building owner from the design stage through to completion.
We are the one stop solution provider that turns the building skin into power generating surfaces. Our team is known for its work with the most renowned architects, including Renzo Piano, Shigeru Ban, Nicolas Michelin, Philippe Samyn or Stefano de Angelis. We gathered the industry most skilled experts under one name. Our activities are focused on the design and the engineering of highly efficient buildings. We provide price competitive photovoltaic laminated glass with embedded solar technology from local and international sourcing.
