PHOTOVOLTAIC SKYLIGHTS
The basic function of skylights placed in glazing of roofs of buildings is lighting the interior. Their use in the construction of photovoltaic glass enables the use of skylights to produce electricity for the installation.
ML System offers standard and structural photovoltaic skylights based on single or double chamber insulated glass in which the outer pane is replaced with a photovoltaic module.
Skylights equipped with fillings in the form of photovoltaic modules provide:
- adequate lighting of rooms (translucency is adjusted to customer requirements)
- high thermal insulation (modules constitute the outer pane of thermo-insulated glass sets)
- optimal energy production
- equipped with the NoFrost function ensure self-snow removal of roof surfaces
- permanent access of natural light to the rooms (NoFrost function prevents snow from accumulating on the skylight)

Advantages of photovoltaic skylights | ||
|---|---|---|
Free electricity | No need for snow removal, protection against weather conditions | Generating savings |
Generation of more electricity in winter | Stable construction, modern design, simple maintenance custom application | By using of the ultralight glass, the implementation of the structures on the roofs is possible because of their low carrying capacity Choice of transparency level |
