The Spanish company Solar Onyx experts in photovoltaic technologies are making two iconic projects that as well as transforming the New York skylinecontributing directly to the well-being of the city and New Yorkers.

In a context where every square meter is a high-value resource, especially on an island like Manhattan, photovoltaic glass solutions from Onyx Supply They are confirmed as an innovative solution that allows us to generate clean energy without sacrificing aesthetic space in our buildings.

On the iconic Fifth Avenue, project 262 redefines the New York skyline with its 56-story high-rise style tower. Onyx Supply giving to modern photovoltaic glass for facades south, north and west of the building, an architectural solution that combines design, energy efficiency and sustainability. Designed by the architectural studio Meganom, with the collaboration of SLCE Architects and Gualini in the manufacture and installation of the facade, this solution meets the highest levels of safety and sustainability, generating clean energy and ‘ reducing carbon emissions, aligning with the city’s climate goals.

A few blocks away, on Sixth Avenue, Solar Onyx provided, for the terrace of the 625 Avenida de las Américas building, a photovoltaic floor designed to withstand pedestrian traffic with a non-slip finish, freeing up space on the roofs for other uses and offering aesthetic and functional integration. This patented product Onyx Supplycompletely developed in Ávila, reaching a power of 135 W per square meter. The project was developed in collaboration with Solar Deck, and RDE Advisors, Inc., the owners of the building, who trusted the expertise of the building. Solar Onyx to improve energy efficiency of the fund.

Onyx Solar Innovation

“The introduction of our photovoltaic glass solutions in iconic projects in New York reaffirms our commitment to stability and innovation. It is gratifying to see how these initiatives not only beautify the urban landscape, but also contribute significantly to reducing the city’s carbon footprint,” said Álvaro Beltrán, general leader of the world. Solar Onyx.

A benchmark in sustainability

Unlike other solutions on the market, the Onyx Solar’s photovoltaic glass stands out for its ability to integrate aesthetically in any building, without affecting functionality or user experience. These features make it a preferred solution over other options such as traditional solar panels, which often take up limited rooftop space and present aesthetic challenges.

According to data presented at COP29 held in Azerbaijan, the construction sector is responsible for 38% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions. In this context, photovoltaic building materials such as those from Onyx Solarwhich integrates perfectly into buildings and allows them to reduce their carbon footprint, becoming essential to mitigating climate change.

From his small town, where this photovoltaic glass is made, to the skyscrapers of Manhattan, Onyx Supply continues to demonstrate how technology can transform urban landscapes into a cleaner and more responsible future, inspiring architects and developers around the worldo.

Light Applied photovoltaic technologies are one of the pillars of sustainability which should be the one that manages cities, in the context of the fight against climate change and commitment to resilience.
