Schüco has announced the integration of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) into its Schüco AF VC (Aluminium Façade Ventilated Construction) ventilated rainscreen façade system.
The Schüco AF VC system is suitable for both new-build projects and building refurbishment. It is based on an aluminium mullion-transom substructure that secures façade elements to the building. The manufacturer offers a range of cladding materials, colours and surface finishes.
Integrated Schüco BIPV modules transform the façade into an additional source of electricity. According to the company, this helps reduce building operating costs and lower CO₂ emissions. As both the façade system and the photovoltaic modules are developed by the same manufacturer, they are fully compatible with one another.
Schüco offers the AF VC system in four design variants: frameless, point-fixed, framed and two-sided fixed. Photovoltaic modules can be installed in each of these configurations.
The company also notes that the AF VC system can be combined with Schüco warm façade systems, ribbon windows, window systems and the Schüco Perfect modular system, which integrates the window with additional components, including solar shading, insect screens, fall protection and window sills.
