Powerglaz
PowerGlaz puts the 'Customer First'
Since its introduction in 2004, PowerGlaz®, manufactured by Romag, has lead the field in building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solutions for architects and those involved in the design of PV systems for buildings, but the most recent project to benefit from PowerGlaz® BIPV is in the London Borough of Hackney where PowerGlaz® covers the glazed roof of the Councils ‘Customer First Centre’.
Features :
  • Double Glazed PowerGlaz modules produce 65kWp output
  • Argon filled insulated glass units combine low E glass reduce heat loss
  • • Structural bonding of carrier frames for subsequent structural glazing, using Dow Corning 993 silicone
  • • SGP interlayer for enhanced structural performance
  • • A combination of heat strengthened, toughened and heat soak tested laminated glass to provide maximum safety
Details :

This project presented many challenges but, because of Romag's 'in-house' glass processing capabilities, these challenges were easily met.

With a total of 600 panels, 96 are PowerGlaz double glazed BIPV modules provioding a total output of 65kWp.  But as well as PowerGlaz, Romag also supplied scren printed double glazed units and SGP 'high pefrformance' laminated glass all meeting stringent performance criteria for 'solar shading' and insulation.

Romag processed all the glass 'in house' enabling phased deliveries to comply with the construction programme and demonstrating that Romag and PowerGlaz always puts the'Customer First'.
