Frequently asked questions
Although photovoltaic systems on building façades deliver on average 20 to 30 percent less yield than classic pitched roof systems, they offer advantages that make installation attractive: On buildings whose roof surfaces are too small, unsuitable or not load-bearing, PV façade systems are a sensible alternative for generating sustainable solar power and using it yourself. In addition, a photovoltaic system on the building façade enhances the aesthetic appearance.
A PV system on the façade protects against moisture, wind and sun and improves the building’s insulation by thermally insulating the wall. Snow, leaves and rainwater do not accumulate on the modules, minimizing the need for cleaning. Vertical installation is also a decisive advantage in winter. Then the sun shines vertically on the modules and the photovoltaic system on the façade generates even more electricity than the roof system. It therefore produces energy reliably all year round.
Efficient use of vertical building surfaces for sustainable energy generation
Simple and safe installation of façade PV from scaffolding or a lifting platform
The aesthetic appearance of the façade is enhanced
A chimney effect ensures rear ventilation and increases the efficiency of the modules
URANOS: The flexible system for façade applications.
With URANOS, the hole pattern for the respective connection is adapted to the façade substrate. An integrated cable duct enables flexible and clean cable routing. During installation, the module is placed on an extended bar on the URANOS rail, eliminating the need for time-consuming alignment and manual fixing. This bar also serves as fall protection and thus provides additional safety. The modules are mounted using the standardized TRITON middle clamps from T.Werk.
The URANOS short rails create a chimney effect that allows the warm air to escape upwards. This creates rear ventilation of the photovoltaic system and increases the performance of the modules. CHRONOS clamping profiles close the gaps between the modules horizontally and thus ensure a homogeneous and aesthetic façade surface.

Photovoltaics on parking garage facades.
T.Werk offers a standardized mounting system for the installation of photovoltaics on parking lot facades. It can be attached to all parking garages that are built with double T-beams. It is mounted with clamping claws without drilling or screws. Modular components are used for this: The photovoltaic substructure on parking garage façades is mounted using the tried-and-tested ZELOS profiles and CHRONOS clamps, both of which are also used on roofs. This guarantees maximum flexibility for solar installers.
For parking garage operators, installing a photovoltaic system on the façade offers several advantages: The electricity can be used directly on site in combination with a charging station infrastructure. The operating costs of the parking garages are reduced and the image in the area of sustainability is improved. In addition, vertically mounted photovoltaic systems generate reliable electricity, especially during periods of low sunshine.
