What is a No-Glass Solar Technology?

No-glass solar technology offers a new way to generate solar energy using building materials. It starts with strong, insulated panels called Structural Insulated Panels (SIP), which are already used in many buildings today. Solar cells are built directly into these SIPs, transforming them into Solar Structural Insulated Panels (SSIP). Now, roofs and walls can both support the building and produce energy. SSIPs are lighter, longer-lasting, and more efficient than regular solar panels, making buildings stronger and better at saving energy.

Here’s how it works:

Each panel has a tough, lightweight fiberglass outer layer and an energy-efficient foam core for insulation.
Solar cells are seamlessly integrated into the panel, so there’s no need for separate solar panels on your roof

This means that SSIPs make buildings stronger, more energy-efficient, and capable of producing their own electricity - all in a single product. Whether it’s a home, a school, a shelter, or even a small business, SSIPs are changing how we think about construction and energy.

No-Glass Solar Panels versus Traditional Glass Panels

No-glass solar panels outperform traditional glass panels in several key areas. They are up to 66% lighter, making them easier to handle and install. Unlike fragile glass panels, they are far more durable and resistant to breakage. With higher energy efficiency and less degradation over time, no-glass panels deliver reliable performance. Their innovative design also allows for greater versatility in applications, especially where heavy or bulky glass panels are impractical.
