The mechanical demands placed on solar

cells are extremely high in the automotive

sector. Then there are the highest aesthetic

requirements as well. our superior quality

and design have proven themselves here

too. Thanks to their production quality,

their resistance to environmental influenc-

es and their flawless appearance, Sunways

Solar cells are a perfect product for the

automotive sector.

our black design cells are characterised by

their especially high efficiency and an overall

homogeneous surface.

BiPV

To perfectly integrate photovoltaics into a building, we work closely with our customers. Only this can guarantee that wishes and demands are met. The result

is highly individual systems which are a perfect part of the whole building. cells, modules

and other system components are individually made and assembled by us.

our large choice of colours and shapes, as well as the option of individual manufac-ture and adjustment, allow us to rely on Sunways quality in all areas. our service

portfolio also includes working as a general contractor – we are happy to undertake

planning, production and implementation to offer you the best possible solution.

BiPV makes it possible to make sustainable buildings without adversely affecting

their appearance and design. The result is the natural and yet impressive everyday

integration of photovoltaic solutions.

Gehry Building – Transparency for daylight

The possibilities offered by building-integrated photovoltaics are reflected in the Gehry Building. our silver solar cells provide not only energy, but also protection

from excessive solar radiation. in order to best use the daylight in the rooms, transparent

Sunways Solar cells were built. This means that the cells are thereby used for both energy production and the filtering of daylight. each cell was perforated individu-

ally, meaning that particularly uniform filtering could be achieved.

During the project, as well as producing these highly individual cells, Sunways also con-sulted a firm of architects and specialist planners. The result is impressive not just

in its design, but also in terms of the completely successful integration of photovoltaics

into the overall project.

As well as multi-space office areas, the building houses an auditorium

with more than 600 seats, teaching rooms and a restaurant. A total of

125,000 monocrystalline transparent Sunways Solar cells were used

for the roof construction.

westendgate – Highest demands taken literally

over the course of the extensive energy-conserving renovation of the westendGate,

which was built in 1976, an innovative and unique photovoltaic system took shape.

westendGate is the first office building in frankfurt, Germany, to be completely covered

with a photovoltaic system.

while the photovoltaic system contributes to a better CO2 balance during the day, at

night the LED light bands running between the modules ensure a lightshow and

illuminate the building’s façade.

what DeliGhtS aRchitectS anD DeSiGneRS? SMALL BLAcK oBjecTS.

In a private project, the wishes of the customer are particularly important –

taking different demands into account under one roof. for the realisation of his vision,

architect and town planner Pascal Gontier searched for highly efficient monocrystalline

black solar cells which could also be aesthetically integrated into the building. He found

the right partner in Sunways.

The result can be seen clearly: The building impresses not only with its consistent and modern appearance, but Gontier also managed to create a positive-energy house.

Through the combination of the photovoltaic system with various further construction

principles such as triple glazing, a ventilation system with energy recovery and a geo-

thermal heat pump, the house produces more energy than it needs. A real stunner.

eDeKA Südwest – complete package for freshness and quality

One of the most state-of-the-art meat and sausage processing plants in Europe has become even more cutting-edge thanks to Sunways. from rheinstetten, near

Karlsruhe in Germany, over 1,250 markets are supplied with meat and sausage specialities

from the region.

eDeKA Südwest relied on the experience and quality of Sunways during the construction

of its roof system and completely entrusted us with the planning, project manage-ment and installation. The result of this trust is the perfect interaction of 1,710 Sunways Modules and 30 Inverters. Through our experience we managed to meet

the tight timeframes for the realisation of the project and guarantee the feed-in tariff.

1,710 standard modules with 230 watts

peak make up the whole surface of the

roof system.

The solar modules work together with

30 nT 12000 type inverters and so ensure

a total output of 393.3 kilowatts peak.
