Onyx Solar Energy S.L.

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.

By providing the same thermal insulation as conventional glass, along with the capacity to generate free clean electricity from the sun, it enables buildings to drastically improve their energy efficiency, decrease operation and maintenance costs, and reduce their carbon footprint.

Onyx Solar is offering tailored solutions on existing buildings by installing linings of PV glass panes which cover fully or partially their rooftops and facades.

We are also developers of the first photovoltaic pavement in the world made with PV glass which is being placed on terrace floors, sidewalks and other outdoor surfaces.

The company, which has offices in Spain, United States and China, was founded in 2009 and has completed more than 350 projects in 50 countries since then. The current yearly production capacity at our factory is at 2 million sqft.
