The skylight is made up of photovoltaic modules with different colours and degrees of transparency to create a composition inspired by the neoplasticism of Piet Mondrian.

The estimated photovoltaic production is approximately 9,000 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 system is made up of glass-glass modules (Onyx Solar) in which there is a thin amorphous silicon film in various colours and degrees of transparency.

It is estimated that the energy produced can prevent the emission of almost 6 tonnes of CO2 per year.
