BUILDING INTEGRATED BIPPHOTOVVOLTAICS Autumn 2010 edition The magazine for individually manufactured photovoltaic modules for architectural building integration Individual Module Production An internationally recognised Limitless architectural design opportunities thanks to market leader with award individually manufactured extra-large (XL) photovolatics, utilising laminated safety glass technology. winning products! Europe-wide ERTL Glas AG is a leader in the production of laminated safety glass. ertex-solar, its glass related subsidiary company, specialises in the ever advancing field of safety glass combined with photovoltaic technology. The creative individuality and unique extra-large PV-modules from ertex-solar open up completely new possibilities in architecture and construction, including façade construction. ertex-solar stand by their primary objective as the experienced leader in innovative module production available to architects, combined with the aesthetics and symbiosis of award winning solar energy products and know-how. Throughout the following pages you will receive a representative insight into the almost limitless world of photovolatics through the eyes of the 2008 “European Business Award for the Environment” winner, ertex-solar.

ERTL Glas Group The effects of synergy The individual (XL) solar modules in laminated safety glass GLAS AG. It is here that safety glass is manufactured and all technology from ertex-solar emerge from the ultra modern glass processing is undertaken. Where else in the world facility in Amstetten, Lower Austria, in specific quantity would you find glass production and processing as well as The optimal High-Tech-Glass for every requirement! production runs. Situated only 5 kilometres from the module photovoltaic module creation in such a symbiotic facility you will find the main glass production site of ERTL partnership? Without doubt the essential part of the success of ertex-solar is The starting point for a photovoltaic panel lies within the ERTL After transforming the required glass panels into safety glass The space between the glass panes is filled with noble gases, attributed to the proximity and technical production capability of GLAS factory, where the delivered float-glass is tailored and within the ERTL GLAS factory, they are now directly passed onto generally speaking Argon or Krypton.
