Konarka Technologies, Inc. exhibited its design-friendly photovoltaic panels at Build Boston 2011 from Nov. 16-18, 2011 in Boston, MA,. Thin, light weight, transparent and flexible, Konarka's Power Plastic solar panels are ideally suited for creative architects who require diverse options when integrating renewable energy into their sustainable designs.
The premier architecture and building event in the Northeast, Build Boston expects more than 14,000 architects, engineers and other designers to attend.
"The design and construction market demands photovoltaic material that delivers various design options and flexible forms," said Ken McCauley, vice president, sales, marketing and business development at Konarka. "Available in colors and various sizes, Konarka's photovoltaic film gives architects superior design latitude. Power Plastic can be integrated into various building materials, including glass, steel, composites and various fabrics, something not possible with crystalline technology. Power Plastic is the photovoltaic that creative architects and designers dream about for their renewable energy solution, helping to take buildings from net-zero to net-plus."
Power Plastic performs well throughout the day delivering superior low light sensitivity. It also acts as a solar mirror blocking heat from the building reducing cooling loads which results in added energy efficiency. The solar panels are ideal for various large and small scale applications including curtain walls, components within windows and other building integrated (BIPV) and building applied (BAPV) applications. Power Plastic can be applied to glass, steel, fabrics and other construction materials.
