A groundbreaking advancement in sustainable architecture has arrived in South Africa with the official launch of ClearPV, a transparent, power-generating glass.
Our range of solar glass products includes NSG TEC™, Pilkington Optiwhite™, and Pilkington Sunplus™. Each of our solar glass solutions are optimised to suit specific technologies, making NSG the ideal provider of glass to solar energy technology manufacturers.
Industry data reveals current BESS project costs range between $280,000 to $480,000 per MWh installed, depending on configuration and ancillary components.
On average, it uses less than 5 watts per square meter (W/m²) — about the same as a small LED bulb. The glass only uses energy to maintain its clear or active state, so it draws minimal power.
Glass curtain walls cost $25 to $80 per square foot or $1,300 to $8,000 total with installation. These walls are also floor-to-ceiling but are not load bearing.
