Heliatek’s organic solar film, HeliaFilm, will be a part of the Universal Exhibition in Milan, which opens in May 2015 under the motto “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.” AGC Glass Europe, Heliatek’s long-term partner in the field of glass products, will showcase the BIOPV (Building integrated organic photovoltaic) solution as part of the Belgian pavilion.
In response to the general theme of the Expo, the roof over the first part of the pavilion is covered with AGC laminated photovoltaic glass, which filters the light while supplying electricity for the pavilion. This glass incorporates – along with other technologies – HeliaFilm.
The combination of glass and active films is a joint product development by AGC Glass Europe and Heliatek. By using HeliaFilm® for the Expo, AGC displays what an innovative high-end glass product could look like.
“This project is an important step forward in the development cooperation of AGC Glass Europe and Heliatek,” said Thomas Bickl, VP sales and product development at Heliatek. “It not only represents a new milestone after the successful start of the first pilot project last year on the building façade of our headquarters, but also the mutual commitments that we both have in this common project.”
