Solar and photovoltaics products featured in Metal Architecture’s October 2021 issue.

Conserval Systems Inc.

Conserval Systems’ single-stage SolarWall is a solar air heating system that heats incoming ventilation air using an all-metal cladding system (there is no glazing as in other systems, only metal). The single-stage SolarWall heats large volumes of ventilation air. It uses a perforated metal collector panel system designed into any building envelope system. Air is heated once as it passes through perforations in the solar collector panels.

Panasonic Corp.

Panasonic’s EverVolt series solar modules are made of half-cut cells with heterojunction technology that minimizes electron loss, maximizes conversion efficiency and produces high power output. The modules have N-type cells with a minimal low induced degradation (LID) and potential induced degradation (PID), which support a long life span. Model 370W solar module has a temperature coefficient of 0.26%/C. Model 370W has a module efficiency of 21.2%, and model 360W has an efficiency of 20.6%.

S-5!

S-5!’s PVKonceal conceals the lower or upper edges of a solar module arrays and mechanical and electrical components underneath. It is produced with light-gauge aluminum with a black Kynar 500 finish. PVKonceal creates a finished look prevents unwanted things from going under solar arrays. PVKonceal comes in 8-foot lengths and attaches directly to S-5!’s PVKIT.

Solaria Corp.

Solaria’s PowerXT 430R-PL 430-watt solar panels have high-power density and an optimized form. They have 20%-plus efficiency. PowerXT panels have the company’s Pure Black technology that eliminates dead spots and failure points, enhances shade performance and provides an all-black aesthetic. PowerXT 400R-PM 400-watt solar panels are also offered. The solar panels come with a 25-year warranty.
