The German group was able to fabricate four large-area modules with a size of 1,220×610 mm and a weight of 13 kg each. The stone veneers used are 1.5 mm thin resin-based products reinforced with glass fibers and a stone layer up to 0.5 mm thick. One technique consists of replacing the front glass pane of the panels with a stone veneer sheet, and the other involves lamination of the natural stones veneer directly onto the front glass pane. “All types of crystalline silicon or thin-film modules are suitable for this.” “The panels could be ready for mass production in a short term, as the stone veneers are commercially available,” he added. It is possible to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standard modules and to apply the front stone on them for costs comparable to glass printing,” ISFH scientist, Arnaud Morlier, told pv magazine. “With our approach, the authentic rough stone surface allows for seamless integration of PV modules, even for an observer standing at close range from the facade or touching it. Researchers at Germany’s Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH) have developed two different techniques to integrate stone veneers in conventional solar modules to make them suitable for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) projects in stone facades.
