The expert in architectural applications

At E-Activ, we specialize in architectural applications.
Our expertise lies in seamlessly integrating solar cells into the building envelopes of your building, such as roofs, canopies, facades and windows.

Functional solutions

We provide an aesthetically pleasing and modern design, as well as a functional solution that contributes to energy efficiency and sustainability.
Our solutions are perfectly tailored to your architectural vision, allowing you to take advantage of solar energy without compromising the appearance of your home or commercial building.
We can do this through the following systems:

  • Facade Systems
  • Glass roof systems
  • Shading and Louvre Systems
  • Balustrade Systems

Facade Systems

Would you like to have an innovative facade system realized?
Then E-Activ is your ideal partner!
Below is an overview of the facade systems we can create:

Curtain Wall

High quality building envelope erected on tall buildings and tower that includes aesthetic appeal, control of light while generating free and clean energy for the building.

High performance building envelope erected on tall buildings and tower that includes aesthetic appeal, control of light while generating free and clean energy for the building. consisting of double glazing Ug 1.0 W/m².K or triple glazing Ug 0.6 W/m².K up to 2200 x 5500 mm with embedded solar cells in matrix or random layout resulting in a power range of 60 to 170 W/m² and the aluminum profile system CW 60 Solar from Reynaers Aluminium that offers both an aesthetic and a high-tech solution and fully compatible with other aluminum profile systems from the CW range of to provide a total curtain wall solution. A specially designed profile system that facilitates the installation and maintenance of photovoltaic system components such as cabling, connectors and junction boxes at the edges. The new cover caps are designed with a minimum height to prevent shadows on the solar cells.

All of our active facade, skylight, roof and sunshade systems are supplied including the electrical installation up to the inverters.
We prepare an electrical study, supply system components up to the inverters, connect the panes in series, run the cabling between the facade/glazed roof/glazed dome and the inverters, and commission the DC side of the system.

Second Skin Façade

A semi-permeable building envelope that allows the building to breathe, reduces building operating costs and improves energy efficiency. In addition, it generates free and clean energy and provides control over solar radiation to support internal climate control, and over daylighting and glare to ensure occupant comfort.

Raised at least 80 cm from the finished facade and made of single laminated glass with incorporated solar cells up to 2200 x 5500 mm in matrix or random layout resulting in a power range of 60 to 170 W/m² and support/fixing system type S 3000 DU for point fixing of architectural glass with an important advantage that the system is invisible and less obstructive ensuring a perfect combination of design and quality.

Ventilated Façade / Cladding

A semi-permeable building envelope that allows the building to breathe, reduces building operating costs and improves energy efficiency. In addition, it generates free and clean energy and provides control over solar radiation to support internal climate control, and over daylighting and glare to ensure occupant comfort.
  • Quick and easy wiring between glass panels.
  • Energy-saving facade: The variable lengths of the wall brackets allow installation with any insulation thickness. Energy conservation results in minimal carbon dioxide emissions.
  • Back ventilation of the façade regulates the humidity of the building and ensures optimal indoor climate.
  • The system guarantees sustainable construction by recycling the parts used.

Glass roof systems

Glass roof/Glass domes/Atriums

High performance building envelope consisting of double glazing Ug 1.0 W/m².K or triple glazing Ug 0.6 W/m².K up to 2200 x 5500 mm with embedded solar cells in matrix or random layout resulting in a power range of 60 to 170 W/m² and various installation options:

Today, more and more architects are designing buildings with sleek, slightly tilted and uninterrupted all-glass skylights.
These buildings are easy to maintain because rainwater and dust can easily drain away.

Our innovative 4-sided Toggle Glazed (TG) system delivers this highly desirable aesthetic for a number of applications.
It balances form and function thanks to its groundbreaking toggle design, which reduces installation work, simplifies site logistics and increases safety while providing superior aesthetics.

The ultimate aluminum profile system for our active canopy and roof glazing system that provides an aesthetically pleasing, comfortable space to run cables through and offers a high-tech solution.
The CW 60-Solar aluminum profile system is fully compatible with other aluminum profile systems in Reynaers Aluminium’s CW range, offering a total roof glazing solution.

This is a specially designed profile system that improves installation and maintenance of photovoltaic system components such as cabling, connectors and junction boxes.
The new covers are designed with a minimum height to prevent shadows on the solar cells.

Canopy

High quality building envelope consisting of single laminated glass up to 2200 x 5500 mm with embedded solar cells up to 2200 x 5500 mm in matrix or any layout resulting in a power range of 60 to 170 W/m² and aluminum profile fastening systems or support/fixing system type S 3000 DU for point-fixing of architectural glass with an important advantage of being invisible and less obstructive.
This provides the perfect combination of design and quality.

Shading and Louvre Systems

Shading slats not only add depth, great architectural impact and aesthetics to the building, but also improve indoor comfort (glare and solar control) and can generate energy for the building.

The awning/louvre is a composition of safety laminated glass with EVA or PVB.
It is available in regular sizes or customized up to 2200 x 5500 mm in matrix or random layout.
This results in a power range from 60 to 170 W/m² and support/fixing system type S 3000 DU for point fixing of architectural glass or type Elegance JCC, a vertical or horizontal support system consisting of brackets on 2 sides of the grille with or without intermediate support bars.
The brackets are attached directly to the profiles of the curtain wall or with adapted fixings.

Balustrade Systems

Balustrades not only provide security.
They also contribute to the great architectural impact and aesthetics of the building.
In addition, they can also generate energy for the building.

The balustrades are a composition of safety laminated glass with EVA or PVB and available in regular sizes or customized up to 2200 x 5500 mm in matrix or random layout that results in a power range of 60 to 170 W/m² and support / fastening system type
