Solar Panel Wall Cladding

The solar wall is constructed first by placing metal solar cladding on the exterior wall of a building.

Solar panel wall cladding.

Cladify has evolved from almost 20 years of perfecting the art and science of cladding. Utilizing new design aesthetics patented technology and our proven and reliable panel sub structure our solar composite panels have the outward appearance of natural or engineered surface materials with the ability to generate electricity at conversion rates very close to that of conventional solar panels. For wall cladding the fasteners must be long enough to pass through the substrate cavity batten and into the solid framing by 30mm for timber and 6mm for steel. This cladding is perforated and built in front of an already present building wall.

The use of louvres or brise soleil to shade south facing facades is a proven means of reducing solar gain reducing the need for artificial cooling. This solar heated air gathers in the air cavity behind the solarwall panels and travels to the existing hvac unit s fresh air intake via mechanical ducting. In the northern hemisphere this wall is south facing. Building integrated photovoltaics as the name suggests seamlessly blend into building architecture in the form of roofs canopies curtain walls facades and skylight systems unlike traditional solar pv panels bipv can be aesthetically appealing rather than a compromise to a building s design.

For an explanation of why it is the south facing wall click here. Solar panels mounted on facade solar panel on wall shading is an important part of low energy building design that minimizes glare and over heating caused by excessive solar gain. Our solar cladding composite panels are unlike any solar panels in existence today. It is worth concederation and limited studies.

Even if i had the newer high tech solar panels and i only got 50 to 30 compasity it is better than nothing. In the summer when solar heated air is not desired the solarwall system is bypassed and the hvac system will draw direct from ambient. Fasteners that are used to secure solar rib down as a roof cladding must penetrate into the purlin a minimum of 30mm for timber and 6mm for steel purlins. 2 bipv solar technology.
