Acralight Introduces PhotoVoltaic Skylights Utilizing the latest in photovoltaic technology, Acralight recently completed the Orange Terrace Library, in Riverside, California. This project features the Suntech hybrid system, with "See Thru" photovoltaic insulated glass in a standard photovoltaic array, with 10% transparency, which allows for natural daylighting of the gymnasium, and the generation of free electricity, while reducing glare and solar heat gain. Total electric output for the skylight system on this project is 5kW. Specify Photovoltaic Skylights on your next project to assist in Green construction goals, and to help to achieve LEED points. Acralight - Innovation at its Best! ACRALIGHT - BIPV System for Union City, CA, BART Station - Acralight partners with Eshone Energy to provide a Building Integrated Photovoltaic canopy for the Union City, CA, BART Station. The canopies will permit free natural daylighting during daylight hours, and also generate electricity, utilizing photovoltaic glass. The electricity generated during daylight hours will power the lights during the evening hours, saving energy, and reducing the carbon footprint. Acralight - Greener Still! |
