SAINT-GOBAIN EXTENDS ITS SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS OFFER FOR FACADES
IN EUROPE BY INVESTING IN BUILDING INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAICS
Saint-Gobain and the solar manufacturer Megasol, the European
leader in Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), announce a
strategic partnership. As part of this partnership, Saint-Gobain
has acquired a minority stake in Megasol's business unit that
develops and manufactures building-integrated photovoltaics at its
site in Deitingen in Switzerland. The partnership enables
Saint-Gobain to extend its sustainable solutions offer for façades
and to become the leading provider for BIPV façade solutions in
Europe, one of the fastest growing segments of façade construction.
At the same time, it gives Megasol access to Saint-Gobain's
customer base.
BIPV solutions make a significant contribution to sustainable
construction and decarbonization by very efficiently producing
energy on roofs and vertical façades of buildings. Building owners
can not only comply with today's and future energy regulations and
increase their own energy efficiency, but they can also generate
additional revenue by feeding the electricity into the grid.
"Thanks to the aesthetic design of Megasol's products, its fully
customized and, at the same time, industrialized production, we are
extending the scope of our applications allowing significant growth
for Saint-Gobain's total facade solutions" says Patrick Maier, CEO
Saint-Gobain Switzerland.
"With its sustainability strategy and immense expertise in glass
and building envelopes, as well as its global presence,
Saint-Gobain is the perfect partner to rapidly scale our business
with our active solar building materials" says Markus Gisler, CEO
of Megasol.
This partnership will further reinforce Saint-Gobain's offering
in sustainable façade solutions which varies from one country to
another. These façade systems provide high performance and a
reduced carbon impact thanks to less embodied carbon and lower
energy requirements for a building in use.
This investment is in line with the Group's "Grow & Impact"
plan to further strengthen its leadership position in light and
sustainable construction.
