Onyx Solar has provided the International Airport of Viracopos-Campinas with more than 4,000 photovoltaic glass units which will cover a total area of 3,240sqm. The photovoltaic installation will reach a total capacity of 117 kWp. The project at this incredible Brazilian airport signifies the largest South American project yet for Onyx Solar.
This photovoltaic low emissivity glass is being installed on the building’s roof as 33 skylights. The beneficial characteristics include its semi-transparency to allow the diffusing of the sunlight; protection against solar radiations (UV & IR); and thermal and acoustic insulations. Due to the nature of the continuous flow of aircrafts in the vicinity, the acoustic insulation has a great deal of importance.
