The Façade as Canvas

Architects often reject photovoltaics because standard panels limit creative expression. ISSOL® changes this paradigm.

We believe the building envelope should be a canvas. Our technologies allow us to match specific RAL colors, print high-resolution imagery, or mimic natural materials like stone and wood—all while generating clean energy. The technology becomes invisible; only the architecture remains.

  • Custom Color: Perfect integration with non-active cladding.
  • Graphic Power: Branding, logos, and artistic prints.
  • Durability: Color encapsulated inside laminated safety glass.

Aesthetic Applications

From subtle color matching to bold graphic statements.

Uniform Color

Using ISSOL® Chroma technology to create a monolithic color block. The active PV area is indistinguishable from passive zones, ensuring visual continuity.

Graphic & Branding

ISSOL® Fresco allows for full-color printing. Integrate corporate logos, historical photos, or artistic patterns directly into the solar glass façade.

Material Mimicry

Replicate the look of expensive materials like marble, corten steel, or wood, but with the added benefit of power generation and glass durability.

Artistic Solutions

Engineered for architects who refuse to compromise.

Technological Quality

Beauty does not compromise durability. Our colored and printed units are engineered for a 30+ year lifespan.

  • Encapsulation: Colors/prints are protected inside the glass laminate.
  • UV Stability: Resistant to fading and weathering.
  • Safety: Compliant with EN 12600 impact standards.
  • Maintenance: Cleans just like standard façade glass.

The Efficiency Balance

Color affects light transmission to the cells. We help you find the sweet spot between aesthetics and output.

  • Chroma Output: ~100–160 Wp/m² (Light colors yield more).
  • Fresco Output: ~100–140 Wp/m² depending on print density.
  • Mock-ups: We produce samples to verify color/yield before production.
