Applied Solar has the technical and design capability to create highly customized PV glass for very specific architectural applications, such as atriums, facades and roofs.

We can match virtually any glass specification in terms of size, shape, color and design configuration. Applied Solar is highly selective in the projects it considers.

A recent project which demonstrates the versatility and creative potential of our PV glass was a solar installation for the new California Academy of Sciences building in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. The project features 720 four-by-six foot glass solar panels embedded with photovoltaic cells, creating a solar canopy around the rim of the building’s 197,000-square-foot roof. The solar cells generate 213,000 kilowatt-hours of energy per year.
