Façade cladding
Replace selected conventional cladding areas with energy-generating architectural glass.

The Calivon BIPV collection
Keep the design.
Add electricity.
A façade can express your architecture and generate power at the same time. Discover solar glass with colour, character and purpose.
Local Saudi supply and project coordination.
Two functions. One surface.
You need a building envelope.
Why not make it generate?
BIPV means building-integrated photovoltaics. Photovoltaic cells become part of the building element itself—such as façade cladding or glazing—so that element contributes to the architecture and produces electricity.
For a project already specifying cladding, the useful comparison is the proposed BIPV system against the planned façade system. Calivon helps assess the additional scope alongside the potential value of the electricity generated.

Colour & design freedom
Solar glass.
Your visual identity.
Red
A bold, single-colour façade. Explore a finish that complements your architectural palette.
1,000+
standard colours.
And room for your own.
Custom colour matching, printed patterns and imagery let the solar surface follow the project’s character. Select a sample to explore.
Representative samples from the Calivon booklet. Colour, image reproduction, dimensions and electrical output are confirmed for the selected product and design.

Design energy into
the building itself.
Solar glazing
Explore daylight, transparency and power together, with a glass build-up suited to the application.
Canopies
Combine shelter and generation over entrances, walkways and gathering spaces.
Shading elements
Consider solar fins and shading surfaces as part of the envelope and energy concept.
Suitability depends on the selected module, structural and electrical design, glass specification and project requirements.

Performance, durability & care
Designed for the building.
Planned for the years ahead.
Ceramic colour fired into glass provides a durable architectural finish. The selected module, its warranty and the maintenance plan should be reviewed as part of the full façade specification.

Already have an approved façade design?
Share it with Calivon. We can review how its colours and character could be translated into solar glass, subject to samples and project detailing.
Will it look like a conventional solar panel?
It does not have to. The collection includes single colours, patterns and photographic imagery. Samples help agree the visual result, and the chosen finish is considered alongside power output.
How much electricity can my façade produce?
A useful forecast needs your location, orientation, shading, usable area and chosen product. The Calivon booklet gives an indicative estimate of 480–600 Wh per m² per day, varying with colour. This is an illustration, not a site forecast or guaranteed yield; sunlight and project conditions change the result.
Can it replace any cladding system?
BIPV must be designed for its building role. Glass build-up, fixings, structure, fire performance, weather protection, cabling and local approval requirements need project-specific review. Calivon coordinates the selected product and project interfaces.
What does Calivon need for an initial proposal?
Start with the project location, drawings or façade elevations, approximate area, desired finish and timeline. If available, include the current cladding specification and electrical information so the comparison has a clear basis.
What care does the system need?
Plan routine glass cleaning and scheduled electrical checks within the building maintenance plan. Access, cleaning methods, inspection intervals and manufacturer instructions should be agreed for the selected system.
