SolTech Energy has now signed its first two customers in Sweden and Norway for the concern\u2019s new facade system, SolTech Facade, for a combined worth of approximately 1.5 million SEK. The Swedish contract has been signed with Peab in connection with \u201dStrandkajen\u201d, an apartment building complex in \u00d6rnsk\u00f6ldvik, and the Norwegian contract is signed with Viedekke, tasked with the mission of building a new elementary school in Levre, B\u00e6rum\u2019s County, that will meet clearly defined environmental goals.<\/strong><\/div>\n

SolTech is the material supplier In both instances and \u2013 in both instances \u2013 SolTech Facade was deemed a simple and attractive solution. Veidekke\u2019s project leader, Gisle Jacobsen, describes the choice of SolTech Fa\u00e7ade, as follows:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSolTech Facade was chosen by reason of its ability to test and make use of wall-mounted solar cells as an integrated part of the building\u2019s architectural formation, while simultaneously providing a positive contribution to the building\u2019s energy requirements.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

By using SolTech Facade, you are able to replace another building material \u2013 and thereby make both economic and environmental savings at the same time, as compared to the cost of first installing a fa\u00e7ade and then mounting solar cells over it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the Strandkajen apartment complex, a project backed by ice hockey star Markus N\u00e4slund, the entire fa\u00e7ade surface is covered with black solar cells, and a lesser number of semi-transparent solar cells, providing a well thought out and straight forward solution. The semi-transparent solar cells constitute a solar shield for the windows lying under them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the Norwegian school in Levre, for which black solar cells were also chosen, a section of the fa\u00e7ade has been covered with a SolTech Fa\u00e7ade installation as an alternative to the use of a conventional facade material. As a result, the building now has an integrated facade surface that also produces electricity.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At the Strandkajen project in \u00d6rnsk\u00f6ldsvik, Sweden, the fa\u00e7ade covers a surface measuring 384 sq. meters with simulated annual production amounting to 25,190 kWh\/yr. The fa\u00e7ade of the Norwegian project measures 549 sq. meters with simulated annual production totaling 35,800 kWh\/yr.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CEO Stefan \u00d6lander comments:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n\u201dI am pleased and proud of these two SolTech Facade installations that demonstrate we are on the right path. More specifically, not only will roofs have integrated solar cells, but facades as well. The market for SolTech Facade is enormous. If the world is to meet its climate goals, then both roofs and facades must become energy producers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
