The photovoltaic skylight has a uniform appearance thanks to the thin amorphous silicon film in the BIPV modules.

The estimated photovoltaic production is approximately 1,000 kWh per year. The energy produced is partially stored in an electric storage system to be then used by the various systems in the building and partially transferred to the network.

The BIPV (Onyx Solar) modules are the glass-glass type and have a thin inner amorphous silicon film with 10% semi-transparency (M-vision). The skylight allows light to pass through, providing natural illumination to the patio below while ensuring a solar factor (g) between 5% and 40%, making it an excellent choice for preventing the greenhouse effect, especially in a hot climate such as that found in Valencia.

It is estimated that the energy produced can prevent the emission of almost one tonne of CO2 per year.
