Dri-Design and Konarka Technologies Solar Wall

Konarka Technologies’ lightweight, flexible organic solar film, Konarka Power Plastic, has been integrated with Dri-Design’s metal rainscreen wall-panel system for building façade applications. The integrated solar panels offer improved building performance, a recurring revenue stream for building owners, tax and renewable energy credits where applicable, and aesthetically pleasing designs for architects. Thin, lightweight, transparent, and flexible, Konarka’s Power Plastic solar films are ideally suited for integration into various building materials, including steel and composites. They offer widespread design latitude with several color and transparency options across a wide range of sizes, enabled by Konarka’s roll-to-roll continuous-manufacturing process.
