Facades as a Source of Energy

Facades of industrial and commercial buildings provide ideal conditions for sustainable energy generation – for both new constructions and existing structures.
K2 facade mounting systems are compatible with a variety of building materials and enable efficient and durable installation of vertical PV systems thanks to modular components. A robust anti-slip design with redundantly engineered holding forces ensures maximum safety and stability.
The K2 Base planning tool and the K2 Engineering team ensure precise planning and expert support at every stage of the project.

The challenge

In this project, the east and south facades of the warehouse were to be clad with colored photovoltaics modules in six shades of green. The color concept was developed by a regional artist, featuring a flowing transition from dark to light green, and demanded high precision in planning, fastenings, and alignment of the modules.

Executing the solution

The implementation was carried out using a customized mounting structure for both facades.
On the east facade, the PV system was mounted on a specially fabricated steel frame with an inclination of 12°. On the south facade, industrially manufactured mounting profiles were used, which were directly attached to the existing masonry. Here, too, the modules were installed at an angle of 12° and blended seamlessly into the joint pattern of the east facade.

The southeast external corner of the building was additionally adjusted by a custom-made steel structure and completely clad with PV modules.
