BIPVBOOST - Walkable BIPV floor

Onyx Solar has developed the first anti-slip, “walkable” PV paver in the world. PV pavers allow building owners to install solar energy in rooftops, while preserving their habitability.

Traditional PV panels take up all the space on the roof, reducing the amenity space within any building. In contrast, PV pavers let the owner generate free electricity, while still letting people enjoy the space and walk on top of them, safely.

PV pavers can be manufactured using any Onyx solar technology (amorphous Silicon and crystalline Silicon), and they comply with the highest and most strictquality standards.

They are intended for pedestrian traffic only, and they are installed as any technical, raised outdoors flooring system (PVC pedestals, wood and metal framing). They withstand up to 400 Kg (point load), and can be manufactured in standard dimensions and customized ones.

Technical features of the BIPV module

The official specifications will be published at the end of the BIPVBOOST project (JUNE-2023)

Walkable floors

Conventional outdoor paver systems are rather expensive and they do not necessarily bring additional sustainability features to your building. PV pavers, however, generate a great amount of power, cut emissions, and let more users install power in their rooftop and terrace space, since its installation is much less intrusive compared to a conventional system.

ONYX Solar

Onyx Solar is the world’s leading manufacturer of transparent photovoltaic (PV) glass for buildings. Onyx Solar uses PV Glass as a material for building purposes as well as an electricity-generating material, with the aim of capturing the sunlight and turn it into electricity. The panes are made of layers of heat-treated safety glass which can provide the same thermal and sound insulation as conventional architectural glass, not to mention the fact that they also let natural light go through in the same way as conventional glass.Thus the PV glass panes could be installed replacing conventional glass on building facades, curtain walls, atriums, canopies and terrace floors, among other architectural applications.These glass panes could additionally be installed on a wide variety of existing buildings and facilities, therefore contributing to their enhacement both from an aesthetic and energetic point of view.
