CFI CURATED Brombach + Gess offers photovoltaic glass with energy-efficiency benefits Brombach + Gess has extended its product portfolio to include photovoltaic glasses for passenger vessel facades, windows, balconies and other areas. The glass is highly transparent to ensure it barely restricts the view and can also generate small volumes of solar energy. The photovoltaic glass can be produced in almost any colour, thickness, shape and size, ensuring the product looks good and offers sustainability and efficiency. Shipowners can also choose the degree of transparency to place the focus on either energy generation or light transmission, depending on the application area and location. Brombach + Gess will demonstrate the photovoltaic glass alongside other innovative products, such as its glued fire-resistant glazing, at Cruise Ship Interiors Design Expo Americas in Miami, Florida, on 6-7 June 2024.
