The MegaSlate® photovoltaic installation integrated into the building shell produces 540,000 kWh solar electricity over 360° and on 33 different roof areas. This Swiss solar system from Meyer Burger Technology AG facilitates perfect integration into the architectural design language of buildings – suitable for use from single-family houses to large-scale projects.
Meyer Burger Technology AG (SIX Swiss Exchange: MBTN), which markets its building-integrated solar systems under the 3S Photovoltaics brand in Switzerland, has once again been able to display the architecturally appealing MegaSlate® concept. With 5,300 m² solar modules and a 360° roof orientation on the Umwelt Arena, approximately 540,000 kWh solar electricity per year can be generated. This is roughly equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 120 private households or 300 electric vehicles. 5,239 frameless MegaSlate® solar modules generate solar energy on a total of 33 roof areas with triangular and trapezoidal shapes and facing various directions. The solar installation consists of 3,663 standard modules and 1,644 special modules.
