SolarLab
SolarLab collaborates with a wide range of glass suppliers and glass coaters to be able to tailor our BIPV solutions to every project. This allows us to offer cladding finishes ranging from the traditional all-black to brightly colored and from high-gloss to satin or structured finishes, that fit the visual and functional requirements of the project. One of our key suppliers of glass coatings are Kromatix who have developed a range of anisotropic and striking color coatings. On the rear of the glass, ultra thin layers create periodic nano-structures that reflects just a fraction of the incoming light to create the impression of color, while letting most of the light through to generate electricity. We specialize in bespoke BIPV facades and work closely with property owners, developers and architects to realise creative, resilient and cost effective solutions that enable Net-Zero and ZEB-COM architecture.

About Us
Expertise to Realise Complex BIPV Façades
Many years of production experience, as well as in-house design and engineering capabilities to support from the early design phase to final commissioning of the energy producing facade. This minimizes risk and ensures a final result that delivers both aesthetically and functionally.
Years of experience
Buildings must be build to last and our BiPV cladding leverages proven technologies to deliver resilient and long lasting facades. Our deep technical understanding and long production experience ensures that our systems are maintenance free and provide sustainable energy in a beautiful facade.
High Quality Facades Made in Europe
SolarLab produces everything in Europe to ensure state-of-the-art technology, a minimal environmental footprint and that only tested and high quality materials are used.
Our experienced, trained and dedicated manufacturing team proudly ensures that every panel made is tested and lives up to the quality required to ensure the long lifespan needed as a facade cladding.
Both products and manufacturing are thoroughly tested and certified according to international standards and inspected by TÜV at annual factory inspections.
Newly Developed, Tried and Tested
The SolarLab facade systems have undergone rigorous fatigue testing of all components as well as durability and strength testing of assemblies. The tests are designed to reflect Scandinavian real life environmental and working conditions over a 30-year time span – with a reasonable additional safety margin.
The basis for the testing is DS/EN 1991-1,-3 og -4 (Eurocodes for wind- and snow-load as well as accompanying national annexes), with an added margin to cover extreme climatic and operational conditions that could adversely impact a facade panel with integrated photo voltaic cells.
Our Vision
We strongly believe that truly sustainable architecture is achievable and that lowering the environmental footprint of our buildings is critical to our shared future, so we will work hard to make this happen.
Our Mission
We specialize in bespoke BIPV facades and work closely with property owners, developers and architects to realise creative, resilient and cost effective solutions that enable Net-Zero and ZEB-COM architecture.
Our Pledge
We strive to only use sustainable energy, to ensure that our products are recyclable and can enter a circular economy, to create jobs locally and to be the preferred supplier by sharing knowledge and pushing the boundaries of what is possible to achieve what is desirable.
Energy Producing Facades
Sustainable architecture and nZEB buildings require onsite energy production. SolarLabs BIPV (Building Integrated Photo Voltaic) systems make this cost-effective and easily achievable, by replacing the classic facade with aour maintenance free, beautiful, durable and energy producing BiPV cladding.
Our energy producing facade system gives you architectural freedom to realize almost any cladding vision with a facade manufactured locally in Europe with sustainable energy.
Our experienced team is ready to help in the creative process and partner in realization process to re-risk the path towards more sustainable architecture, from early pre-tender ideation to realization and commissioning.
By replacing the traditional cladding with our energy producing facade system, the facade will not only pay for itself in just a few years and continue to provide free and sustainable electricity for many years, but also return the energy and carbon-dioxide investment accrued in its creation.
The marginal cost of facade integrating the PV over a traditional facade cladding material is often less than adding the equivalent power capacity in a standard roof top PV array.
As on-site power generation is increasingly required to comply with local building codes, our BiPV facades provides a cost-effective alternative that preserves the roof tops for rainwater management and social activities.
