Chinese renewables company Hanergy has completed a solar glass curtain wall on the China Pharmaceutical International Innovation Park building in Nanchang city, China.
The company applied 6000 square metres of HanWall Oerlikon modules on the facade of the building.
Measuring 1200mm by 1130mm, each module has the capacity of 100 watts, with the total capacity installed on the building 460kW.
Electricity generated will mainly be used to provide the power for indoor lighting, the ventilation system and air-conditioning, making the building’s reliance on the national grid substantially negligible.
Hanergy senior vice president Zhang Bin said: “At Hanergy, we’re delighted for having set the standard for future ecological buildings and upping the ante in the BIPV segment with the introduction of our par-excellence skyscraper product- HanWall.
“The current project is aligned with our ‘New Eco City’ initiative which is primarily intended to introduce the idea of eco-building into the public arena.
“We’re happy to see our efforts to make the concept of sustainable buildings are showing significant results. It gives us further impetus to lead the movement of creating the buildings that are sustainable and self-reliant.”
