The Future of Building – The New MB-SR50N PV Facade Integrated with Photovoltaics

The Future of Building – The New MB-SR50N PV Facade Integrated with Photovoltaics

Innovation, design, and sustainability are the three pillars of ALUPROF’s latest facade system, MB-SR50N PV. This unique solution combines contemporary architecture with photovoltaic technology, enhancing the building’s aesthetics while significantly improving its energy efficiency in line with the environmental demands of the future.

The MB-SR50N PV facade is an advanced system that integrates photovoltaic panels with one of the market’s most popular mullion-and-transom curtain wall solutions. This innovative combination not only emphasizes the architectural expression of the building, but also actively supports a sustainable approach by generating green energy on site. The system is designed for zero-energy facades that help reduce operating costs, improve the building’s energy balance, and lower CO2 emissions.

Design Freedom and Functionality

The MB-SR50N PV system offers almost unlimited design possibilities. It allows seamless combination of the photovoltaic facade version with the standard MB-SR50N solution, as well as the use of PV panels from various manufacturers — all while maintaining a consistent curtain wall appearance. In addition, the system has been engineered with maximum functionality in mind: straightforward installation, easy access to electrical components from both the interior and exterior of the building, fast diagnostics, and hassle-free replacement of damaged elements without interfering with the facade structure.

Technology Setting New Standards

This new photovoltaic facade stands out with excellent technical performance, ensuring high airtightness, wind load resistance, and very good thermal insulation. The power cables are routed through a specially designed installation gland, guaranteeing a safe and sealed transition of wiring from the photovoltaic panel into the structure. This modern solution not only provides effective protection against water and air infiltration, but also meets the highest safety requirements for electrical installations.

Innovation in the Service of Sustainability

Investing in ALUPROF’s new facade translates directly into lower electricity costs — the building becomes a mini power plant, producing energy for its own needs. At the same time, the system supports environmental protection by reducing CO2 emissions through the use of renewable energy sources. The high quality and reliability of the system, resulting from its innovative structural solutions, ensure durability, safety, and trouble-free operation.

Advantages of MB-SR50N PV for fabricators:

  • Simple installation and easy maintenance thanks to innovative structural solutions.
  • Full compatibility with the MB-SR50N facade, providing visual consistency and enabling even the most demanding architectural concepts.
  • Flexibility in integrating photovoltaic panels from different manufacturers, allowing optimal adaptation to the specific requirements of the developer.

Advantages of MB-SR50N PV for architects:

  • Exceptional design flexibility thanks to full integration with the highly popular MB-SR50N mullion-and-transom facade.
  • Seamless photovoltaic integration without compromising facade aesthetics, enabling architects to realize their vision without limitations.
  • Creation of modern, sustainable spaces that combine functionality with the highest standards of design and innovation.

Advantages of MB-SR50N PV for developers:

  • Reduced building operating costs through on-site energy generation.
  • Improved energy balance of the building with the potential to achieve environmental certifications.
  • Increased property value thanks to a modern, energy-efficient facade that enhances market appeal.
