Solar Glass
The growth of the world’s population, which necessitates increasing food production, the impacts of climate change on agricultural productivity, and the raising competition for land use in light of the expansion of renewable energy generation make the management of the Food/Water/Energy nexus ever more challenging. The Agrivoltaics concept allows the simultaneous use of land for two purposes: food production under more favourable conditions and renewable energy production.
Greenhouse agriculture can produce 10x higher yields while consuming 1/10th of the water when compared to open-field production. Brite’s Solar Glass allows the greenhouse to offset or eliminate the need for external electricity for greenhouse operations such as climate control and hydroponic systems. On open-field cultivation as well, the use of Solar Glass can facilitate the combined use of agricultural land for additional energy generation, while simultaneously protecting crops from adverse weather conditions, such as frosts, storms, and high temperatures, which are exacerbated by the impacts of climate change.
Solar Glass Configurations
Our customers’ projects often present unique requirements. To satisfy these we implement
flexible manufacturing processes and are thus able to customise our products in multiple ways.
A wide range of Solar Glass sizes, levels of light transmittance, and power is available and can
be further expanded on demand. For more information about the possibilities, contact us.
A few indicative options are presented below.

Why Our Technology
Optimizes the Power produced by the solar glass
As technology has developed, glass has now become the predominant facade material throughout the world. Unfortunately, the very transparency that makes glass attractive for buildings creates undesirable effects in terms of thermal and optical insulation.
