Our Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) systems can turn the roof, the windows or the curtain wall of a building into a complete, multifunctional, high-performing, solar-energy power plant. Onyx Solar counts on the most extensive and innovative approach to design and implement BIPV applications.

El Hospital Universitari MútuaTerrassa cambia de piel. Y no es solo una cuestión de imagen.

Tras varios meses de rehabilitación, el hospital estrena unas nuevas fachadas desarrolladas dentro de su Compromiso Verde.

El proyecto incorpora 2.800 m² de vidrio fotovoltaico de Onyx Solar, distribuidos en tres fachadas y fabricados en 34 tamaños diferentes, con acabados en blanco y negro.

Cada pieza ha sido diseñada para adaptarse a la geometría real del edificio, integrando la tecnología fotovoltaica como una parte más de su arquitectura.

El resultado es una envolvente renovada que no solo transforma la imagen del hospital, sino que también produce energía limpia desde el propio edificio.

Un proyecto que nos hace especial ilusión compartir y que demuestra que cada fachada puede encontrar su propia manera de generar energía.

Enhorabuena a MútuaTerrassa, a Strunor y a todos los equipos que lo han hecho posible.

Hospital Universitari MútuaTerrassa has a new skin. And it is not just a matter of appearance.

After several months of renovation, the hospital has unveiled its new façades, developed as part of its Green Commitment.

The project incorporates 2,800 m² of Onyx Solar photovoltaic glass across three façades, manufactured in 34 different sizes and finished in black and white.

Each piece was designed to adapt to the building’s actual geometry, integrating photovoltaic technology as a natural part of its architecture.

The result is a renewed building envelope that not only transforms the hospital’s appearance, but also generates clean energy directly from the building itself.

We are especially proud to share this project, which shows that every façade can find its own way to generate energy.

Congratulations to MútuaTerrassa, STRUNOR and all the teams who made it possible.

A car park that also generates energy.

The car park at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in Sydney demonstrates how even the most functional infrastructure can become an active and sustainable element.

The north façade incorporates 90 units of Onyx Solar crystalline silicon photovoltaic glass, custom-made in a terracotta colour and measuring 2,700 × 975 mm. Integrated directly into the building envelope, this solution combines clean energy generation, solar protection and architectural design.

Developed by CCG Architects and Kane Constructions, with the collaboration of Metz, the project transforms the traditional image of a car park through a façade that responds to its surroundings while improving the building’s energy performance.

The facility provides more than 1,000 parking spaces and 75 electric vehicle charging points, reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to more efficient, future-ready infrastructure.

Architecture, functionality and energy integrated into a single façade.

El parking del Children’s Hospital at Westmead, en Sídney, demuestra que incluso las infraestructuras más funcionales pueden convertirse en elementos activos y sostenibles.

La fachada norte incorpora 90 unidades de vidrio fotovoltaico de silicio cristalino de Onyx Solar, fabricadas a medida en color terracota y con unas dimensiones de 2.700 × 975 mm. Integrada directamente en la envolvente del edificio, esta solución combina generación de energía limpia, protección solar y diseño arquitectónico.

El proyecto, desarrollado por CCG Architects y Kane Constructions, y gracias a la colaboración de Metz, transforma la imagen tradicional de un aparcamiento mediante una fachada que dialoga con el entorno y mejora el comportamiento energético del edificio.

La instalación ofrece más de 1.000 plazas de aparcamiento y 75 puntos de recarga para vehículos eléctricos, reforzando el compromiso del hospital con una infraestructura más eficiente y preparada para el futuro.

Technology also needs people on the ground.

During the installation of the photovoltaic curtain wall at Culver City Creative in California, our colleague Vicente travelled to the project site to support the team throughout the installation process.

In the video, we can see him taking part in the positioning and adjustment of the photovoltaic glass panels that make up this 743 m² façade, composed of pieces manufactured in up to 24 different sizes.

His presence on site made it possible to closely supervise each stage, resolve the necessary adjustments and ensure that the solution was integrated into the building exactly as designed.

Because behind every Onyx Solar project there is technology, engineering and manufacturing, but also a team of people supporting the installation wherever the project is being built.

La tecnología también necesita personas sobre el terreno.

Durante la instalación del muro cortina fotovoltaico de Culver City Creative, en California, nuestro compañero Vicente se desplazó hasta el proyecto para acompañar al equipo durante todo el proceso de instalación.

En el vídeo podemos verlo participando en la colocación y el ajuste de los vidrios fotovoltaicos que componen esta fachada de 743 m², formada por piezas fabricadas en hasta 24 tamaños diferentes.

Su presencia en obra permitió supervisar de cerca cada fase, resolver los ajustes necesarios y comprobar que la solución desarrollada se integraba en el edificio tal y como había sido diseñada.

Porque detrás de cada proyecto de Onyx Solar hay tecnología, ingeniería y fabricación, pero también un equipo humano que acompaña la instalación allí donde se construye.

Architecture that transforms. Energy that integrates.

In Lagos, Nigeria, the renovation of Sterling Bank’s headquarters transformed an 80s building into an active solar façade through the integration of 6,500 m² of crystalline silicon photovoltaic glass developed by Onyx Solar.

The project features 3,250 photovoltaic glass units, with an installed capacity close to 1 MWp, turning the façade into a surface capable of generating clean energy without compromising the building’s design or visual identity.

With this intervention, Sterling Bank became the largest BIPV installation in Africa, proving how architectural renovation can also be an opportunity to move towards more efficient, sustainable buildings connected to the future.

A new way of understanding façades: not only as the image of a building, but as an active part of its energy performance.

Fifteen years ago, integrating energy into the building envelope was the exception. Today, in many projects, it has become a requirement.

The discussion has shifted. The key question is not whether renewable generation can be incorporated into façades or skylights, but how to do it while ensuring structural safety, regulatory compliance and architectural coherence.

Our experience working across different climates, markets and regulatory frameworks has shown that successful integration starts in the early design stages. When approached with technical rigor and a long-term perspective, building-integrated photovoltaics becomes a reliable construction solution.

For us, integrating photovoltaic glass is not about adding technology to a building. It is about using existing surfaces in a smarter way.

Over the years, we have worked on projects where façades, skylights and horizontal elements were designed to combine enclosure, light control, insulation and energy generation without altering the architectural language.

This approach comes from experience. After more than 15 years working on real projects across different climates and building types, we know that integration only works when it is considered from the early design stages.

When the building envelope starts working, the building gains long-term value.

After more than 15 years integrating photovoltaic glass into buildings, one thing is clear to us: the most important work is not always the most visible.

Every project starts long before manufacturing. We analyze orientation, regulations, light transmission, solar control, required power, and construction details to ensure proper integration.

The result is an architectural element that generates renewable energy, improves the building’s insulation, and blends naturally into the original design.

Because integrating energy into the building envelope is not just about producing electricity. It is about doing it right from the very first drawing.

New images from the Castellana 66 project.
The PV glass louvers were designed to fit the existing structure and generate clean energy without altering the façade.

A customized integration that brings renewable production to one of Madrid’s key business corridors.
