Onyx Solar is the world’s leading manufacturer of transparent photovoltaic (PV) glass for buildings. PV Glass is used as a building material plus as an energy-generating device, capturing the sunlight and transforming it into electricity. It is made of two or more panes of heat treated, safety glass, and it provides the same thermal and sound insulation, and natural light as a conventional architectural glass. Thus, it is installed in lieu of conventional glass on building facades, curtain walls, atriums, canopies and terrace floor, among others.
PV Glass generates free and clean electricity, thanks to the sun. Turning buildings into vertical power generators.
PV Glass lets natural light in; it also provides thermal and sound insulation, and filters 99% harmful UV radiation, and up to 95% IR radiation.
Our PV Glass works as a revenue-accelerator, since it is the only building material that pays off! Enjoy long term energy savings, tax credits and incentives.
It can be customized in shape, color, size, thickness, and semi-transparency degrees, easing its integration within any project and design.
Our photovoltaic glass is installer-friendly. From a mechanical standpoint, its installation is performed the same way as installing conventional glass.
Our proven experience in installation of photovoltaic projects enables us to be the more reliable partner for turnkey projects of PV glass. Check out our installers' network.
Amorphous silicon glass is the ideal product for vertical applications such as curtain wall glass (vision glass) and ventilated facades, but also for skylight applications. It resembles semi-transparent, fritted glass.
Crystalline silicon glass is normally selected when energy output goes first. This technology offers a high kWp installed per square feet and therefore, it has greater energy yield potential.
Our photovoltaic glass has now been installed in over 150 projects across the planet, covering all markets (Government, Healthcare, Commercial, Transportation, Retail, Corporate and Education).
Several of our clients are well-known corporations who have led the adoption of photovoltaic glass within their industries. They are Apple Inc. Novartis Pharmaceuticals, Samsung, Coca-Cola, Heineken, Pfizer, G.W. University, and many more.
Also, we provide regular design assistance to prominent architectural firms such as Foster+Partners, Gensler, Perkins+Will, S.O.M., A.S.+G.G., among others; and we have also partnered together with general contractors such as Turner, Skanska, Jacobs, KPRS, ACS and Ferrovial, to deliver our photovoltaic glass all around the world.
Located in the midst of Singapore’s financial center, this 64-storey tower is the tallest building in the country. Designed by S.O.M., the New York-based architecture firm, its design and construction was commissioned by the Korean multi-national company Samsung. It integrates a large photovoltaic canopy, covering the main entrance of the building.(27,986 sf).
This project consists of a second photovoltaic skin anchored to the existing wall. It works as a double skin / ventilated façade concept, and it was made using semi-transparent, amorphous Silicon photovoltaic glass. Pfizer – the owner, enjoys natural light, improved thermal insulation and clean energy thanks to this pixel-like façade design.
The Dubai Frame is an impressive rectangular picture-frame shaped building, 150 meters tall (492 Ft) and 105 meters wide (344 Ft), located in the Zabeel Park in Dubai. Its strategic location provides over 2 million visitors with spectacular views of the city’s other architectural jewels, framed on the horizon. It has been considered one of the world’s new attractions of the recent years, and one of the most original skyscrapers. Onyx Solar supplied gold-color photovoltaic glass for its rainscreen cladding system.
As a part of the complete revitalization of the two-million square-foot former Bell Labs facility into an iconic mixed use metroburb located in Holmdel, N.J., Onyx Solar has supplied Bell Works with 60,000 SqFt of amorphous silicon photovoltaic glass, to create the largest-of-its-kind photovoltaic skylight in the USA. As a landmark protected building, Onyx Solar designed a photovoltaic glass that mimics the original one, providing tons of natural light inside the building, and generating free and clean electricity for all its occupants.
Onyx Solar® executed this façade retrofit at FEMSA’s headquarters in Monterrey - Coca-Cola’s largest bottling plant company worldwide. This ventilated façade solution creates a second skin that improves the thermal insulation of the building while completely renovates the aesthetics of the building. The energy that it generates is distributed throughout the building to feed up to 15% of its energy needs. This amorphous Silicon installation demonstrates how efficiency is automatically improved when renovating a building using photovoltaic glass.
The prestigious consulting firm Frost & Sullivan has awarded Onyx Solar with the “Global Building Integrated Photovoltaic Glass Technology Leadership Award”.
BUILD Magazine awarded Onyx Solar with the best global photovoltaic glass provider award at the Sustainable Building Awards.
Onyx Solar’s glass has been acknowledged as the Most Innovative Glass Product of 2015 by Glass Magazine Awards, organized by the National Glass Association of the USA.
The Architect’s Newspaper awarded Onyx Solar’s PV walkable floor as the best architectural product for outdoor applications. This magazine provides comprehensive information on the latest building materials, and architecture news.
Onyx Solar´s photovoltaic pavers were awarded with the “Best of What’s New” mention under the Eingineering category, by Popular Science Magazine.
When I call a local area code phone number ( I live in chandler az and the area code is 480), the receiving phone gets my number with 1 prefixed. So when the receiving person checks her phone on missed call list and presses redial in the phone against my missed number to return the call, since my number is prefixed in the list with 1 the call does not land in my phone. The person will have to use the phone address book or manually key-in the numbers and then it is all ok. How can I suppress a 1 that gets sent when I call another home number in the same area code?
This is not something you, or Ooma, has any control over. This is something that Vonage does and they claim it is there as a "convenience" to their customers.
However, she should still be able to dial your number including the "1" and still reach you. Another thought - some phones (like the Panasonic) have an edit feature that will remove the 1 and even the area code at the push of a button. The person you are calling should check to see if their phone has that capability to make it easier for them to call you.
I checked with her and she says - she is claiming to see 11+my digit home ooma phone number in her received calls list. So it is not single 1 that prefixes but she sees eleven+my number. She is using Uniden phone.
Do you think I can do anything to get this resolved? The concern I have - I am not sure how many people that call us our home number face this issue. Because this issue of not able to reach my home phone was told by this person to me after trying for about a week and later called me in Cell phone and told me that she will never attempt to call me in home phone . While I have asked her to call me from address book, I am not sure if I have to send this as a FAQ to all that call my home number....
When you use your home phone to call your cell, what number shows up? Just area code and number? No 1's in front right?
Don't mean any disrespect but what is so tough about writing down your number and calling you that way; programmed into the phone or manual?
When I call my ATT cell from my home - there is no 1 prefixed. Second, if the calling party know that they have to call from address book instead of redial from the missed call or received call - it is well and good.
Third and more importantly, my wife is not willing to change from vonage to ooma. I changed it and now have the bottom line responsibility to make sure that the service is "per expectations".....
