The 18 eTrees with transparent solar glass modules, installed in the direct area around the pavilion, not only produce electricity. They also provide shade and show in a charming way that the use of sustainable energy can also meet the highest design expectations.

BIPV glass roof for Expo2020 in Dubai
SUNOVATION receives next major order from the Middle East.

In addition to the approx. 9,000 m² glass roof of the funnel-shaped "canopy", 18 "solar-trees" will be equipped with approx. 220 m² BIPV solar glass modules each. Almost all modules have a trapezoidal geometry. Altogether, more than 320 different geometries will be produced. SUNOVATION was involved consulting the project from the design stage with the architects (Grimshaw office) to the conceptual layout, the mounting structure, and the interconnection. For SUNOVATION, this is another important large-scale project with which the unique expertise of the BIPV team from Aschaffenburg is recognized internationally.

Glass-glass modules in special design

Exceptional aesthetics and an above-average solar yield characterise the SUNOVATION eFORM glass-glass modules. As part of the special exhibition, SUNOVATION will show samples of its colored glass-glass modules for building integration in various shades on a scale from light to dark, as well as BIPV modules in concrete, graphite and corten steel appearance. SUNOVATION's exposed glass-glass modules' design is a special feature that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the power-generating property. The employed photovoltaic-technology optically vanishes due to full-surface printing with UV-resistant and translucent special inks. Visually, they look like pure design glass and thus open up new design potential for the application of photovoltaic modules in building integration.
