  • Abstract
    A large photovoltaic facade was retrofitted to an industrial building complex of the Joint Research Centre. Amorphous silicon technology was chosen to cover the maximum possible area at a minimum of costs. The a-Si substrates are laminated within a double-glass facade element. Total area of the facade is 770 m2, probably the largest facade presently in operation. Total power output fed into the grid is approximately 25 kWp. Emphasis was put on the architectural design and the visualisation
