Photovoltaic in concrete

Building-integrated photovoltaics in concrete facades

The integration of renewable energy is a challenge for modern architecture. Hering photovoltaic concrete elements allow modules to be directly integrated into architectural precast cladding. This eliminates the need for additional building-technology planning and the subsequent installation of energy generators. Instead these are included directly in the design by the architect. When combined with Hering architectural precast concrete, a whole new range of result design and functional possibilities opens up - whether the concrete remains visible next to the photovoltaic modules or not.

Here the photovoltaic modules are bonded directly to the concrete without the use of an additional frame using Polytransmitter and thus can be seamlessly integrated into the concrete facade without any variation in the fastening system.

In combination with betoShell®, the photovoltaic modules can also be used without the surrounding concrete areas.

Individual design possibilities with architectural concrete

Wide-ranging construction methods, such as architectural precast cladding, sandwich facades, steel-reinforced and textile-reinforced concrete, with acidified, blasted, polished, finely washed or smooth surfaces - everything is possible with Hering.

A leader in the development of new concrete technologies

Hering creates numerous special concrete surfaces that go way beyond the conventional. Using its own specially-developed photo concrete technology, it can realize surfaces that include photorealistic images or patterns, as well as lettering and logos in extremely sharp-edged relief concrete. Hering's latest innovation, BlingCrete™ - light-reflecting concrete, allows similarly spectacular effects to be achieved.
