The BIPV modules completely cover the circular roof thanks to the different 330 special trapezoidal geometries designed for the specific application.

The integrated power generating surface is estimated to produce around 4 GWh per year. This energy production was fundamental to achieve the desired LEED certification. The glass is designed for highest power generation.

The 5,080 integrated glass-glass BIPV modules (eFORM clear) were individually designed by SUNOVATION. The structure is walkable for cleaning and maintenance and characterized by a long-term stability of the glass compound.
