Revolutionary architectural materials for buildings of the Future.
The extraordinary advances in the photovoltaic industry have enabled the design of photovoltaic modules to advance and to blend with traditional building elements.
See Thru is a clear example of a new range of products developed in order to combine with and partly replace normal building elements, so that integration, design, normal sturdiness and energy production are assured.
These products known as
“Building Integrated Photovoltaic” (BIPV) may be used as standard building materials, with the added value of generating electricity by way of solar radiation.
See Thru is composed of a thin sheet of amorphous silicon between two sheets of glass. The sheet of silicon between the two sheets of glass is approximately 0.3 microns, about six hundred times thinner than the layer of traditional amorphous silicon modules.
See Thru uses an ultra-fine laser cut, which makes it possible to create the final semitransparent effect.
The connections are integrated inside the frame, so that appearance-wise neither the wiring nor the junction boxes are visible.

REASONS FOR CHOOSING SEE THRU
1. Attractive appearance. See Thru stands out on account of the thinnest cut in the industry in order to achieve a single consistent result very similar to tinted glass.
2. Significant energy saving. The See Thru amorphous silicon cells generate electricity at the same time as they block the passage of the sun’s rays and permit the passage of luminosity, thereby reducing air-conditioning and lighting costs.
3. Comfort. The use of See Thru converts the sun’s rays into a delicate diffuse light, which means that interior spaces have sufficient clarity.
4. Substantial reduction of ultraviolet rays. See Thru reduces the passage of ultraviolet rays drastically and retains up to 98.9%.
5. Reduction in costs and emissions. While generating electricity and lowering power costs by saving on air conditioning and lighting, See Thru also permits a drastic reduction in the emission of CO2, lending added value to the building.
