Another skyscraper to feature ML System products

ML System has contracted the supply of BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) modules for the Oslo Spektrum skyscraper – one of the most recognizable and prestigious landmarks on the map of Norway’s capital. The new building will reach approximately 108 meters in height and will span 27 stories. The structure will feature a modular double-skin façade with curved corner elements. The annual electricity yield from the installation is estimated at approximately 59 MWh.
As of July 2, ML System’s order book for standardized products covered a total area of 54,000 square meters, of which approximately 17,000 square meters related to the planned deliveries of PhotonRoof photovoltaic tiles under a conditional agreement with a European distributor.

– The project in Oslo is a direct result of the track record and references that ML System has established through its previous high-rise building projects. To date, we have supplied BIPV solutions to projects including the 73-meter-tall HAUT residential building in Amsterdam, a 16-story apartment building in Helsinki, and the 84-meter-tall Artery office complex in Vilnius. As part of our consistent expansion in Europe, we are also supplying double-skin façade BIPV modules for the DC2 skyscraper in Vienna, which reaches a height of 174 meters, says Dawid Cycoń, Vice President of ML System.

The Oslo Spektrum project is one of the first examples of BIPV modules being integrated into a skyscraper in the capital of Norway. This realization highlights the growing importance of building-integrated photovoltaics in both public and private investments. ML System’s modules will be integrated directly into the WICONA unitized façade system by Hydro Group, which is manufactured from Hydro CIRCAL 75R – a low-carbon, recycled aluminum alloy. The project is a joint venture between Aspelin Ramm and Oslo Spektrum, carried out with the involvement of the general contractor HENT AS, and subcontractors: Staticus, responsible for the façade, and Solenergi FUSen AS, responsible for the photovoltaic installation.

The contracted project in Oslo confirms ML System’s expertise in providing advanced BIPV solutions for large-scale commercial projects, including high-rise structures. The company holds all necessary documentation and certifications required for its products to be utilized in buildings of this type.

ML System has also launched an AI-powered visualizer that allows generating building visualizations using the company’s standardized products.
