PV mounting systems for facades

PV mounting systems for facades
An elegant, functional solution for modern buildings—harvesting green energy straight from the façade

Facade-integrated photovoltaic systems offer an innovative, architecturally refined alternative to conventional rooftop arrays. By embedding PV modules directly into the building envelope, they convert vertical walls into active sources of renewable power. Each structure secures the panels safely without compromising the facade’s visual language, making them equally suitable for commercial towers, office complexes, or high-end residential blocks.

This approach is perfect for dense urban settings where roof space is limited or already occupied. Vertical mounting also shields the exterior from weathering and can enhance the building’s overall energy performance. With minimal visual impact and superior winter yield—thanks to the sun’s low trajectory—the solution delivers lasting sustainability benefits while preserving design integrity.

Key Benefits

0 % VAT for EU clients

Through intra-community invoicing we apply a zero-rate VAT, cutting the total acquisition bill by a meaningful margin. The cash you keep at procurement can be re-allocated to design optimisation, premium components, or faster project roll-out—an immediate gain for organisations that must balance sustainability targets with strict capital-expenditure limits, especially in the execution phase when liquidity matters most.

Vertical mounting adaptable to any façade type:

Engineered as a fully modular kit, the system accommodates ventilated façades, curtain walls, rainscreen cladding, or even bare concrete. Installation is swift and secure, relying on calibrated anchors that avoid major structural surgery, so the solution suits both new builds and deep-energy retrofits. Whether the wall is curved, inclined, or segmented, bracket geometry and rail spacing adjust on site, delivering a flawless fit every time.

Elegant architectural integration:

Vertically installed photovoltaic modules can be colour-matched, glass-laminated, or frameless, allowing them to merge seamlessly with metal, stone, or glass façades. The result is a modern, unified exterior that communicates technological sophistication and environmental commitment in equal measure. By embedding renewable generation into the skin of the building, companies enhance brand value and demonstrate tangible climate leadership to tenants, visitors, and investors.

Efficient use of façades in urban spaces:

In dense city cores where roof acreage is scarce, inaccessible, or already occupied by HVAC equipment, vertical PV unlocks an undeveloped energy asset—the building envelope itself. South-facing walls capture peak winter sun, while east- and west-oriented elevations add valuable morning and late-afternoon yield, all without claiming additional land. The approach preserves rooftop real estate for amenities or green roofs and turns previously passive surfaces into active contributors to the site’s energy balance.

PV mounting systems for facades

Efficient, discreet solutions for sustainable buildings, ventilated façades, and energy-active balconies

Facade photovoltaic systems transform the vertical surfaces of a building—exterior walls, balconies, parapets, or ventilated façades—into productive sources of renewable electricity. Installed at an 85° tilt in landscape orientation, the structures integrate PV modules seamlessly into contemporary architecture without compromising design intent.

Manufactured from high-grade, corrosion-protected steel, the systems accommodate a wide range of module sizes. Adjustable fixings and a modular layout enable rapid installation on both new constructions and existing buildings, including balconies and ventilated façades. Ideal for residential, commercial, and public projects—especially in urban zones where roof space is scarce—these mounts unlock new generating capacity while preserving valuable real estate.

Advantages

  • Vertical mounting at 85°—optimized for winter yield: Panels set at an 85° landscape tilt harvest low-angle winter sunlight more effectively, boosting cold-season output and overall annual performance.
  • Robust, corrosion-resistant steel construction: Premium steel profiles with protective coating ensure long-term durability in harsh weather and high-humidity environments, reducing maintenance over the system’s lifetime.
  • Perfect for façades, balconies, and ventilated walls: The kit attaches to ventilated façades, exterior walls, or balcony railings, making it a practical solution when roof area is limited, inaccessible, or already in use.
  • Landscape-format module compatibility: Designed specifically for landscape orientation, the framework delivers balanced aesthetics and secure clamping for virtually any PV module on the market.
  • Quick, unobtrusive installation: Prefabricated, modular components ship ready to assemble, requiring no major structural alterations and keeping on-site labour time and costs to a minimum.
  • Seamless architectural integration: With a slim profile and compact panel layout, the system turns a passive wall into an energy-active façade while maintaining a clean, modern appearance that complements the building’s overall design.
