Solar façades

ZigZagSolar: the solar façade where innovation, efficiency and aesthetic meet each other

Our façades combine an aesthetic appeal with high-performance solar panels, transforming building exteriors into energy-generating façades.
The solar panels are oriented towards the sun for maximum yield, while the decorative panels that reflect sunlight too onto the solar panels are visible from ground.
Designed to capture maximum sunlight throughout the day, these façades significantly enhance energy efficiency and sustainability. especially during the heating season, and long-term savings.

With standard and customizable designs to fit any architectural style, ZigZagSolar façades offer both functional and visual enhancements to your building.

In-active cassettes have panels that look like solar panel and come in flexible lengths. They are used as fillers near openings and edges. They look almost like the active cassettes and help create a harmonious design.
