Imagine turning entire buildings into clean energy generators – that's the promise of solar photovoltaic curtain walls. In Cote d'Ivoire, this technology is transforming urban landscapes while powering economic growth. Let's explore how these innovative systems work and why they're becoming a game-changer for West Africa's architectural and energy sectors.

Why Solar Curtain Walls Make Sense in Cote d'Ivoire

With 2,500+ hours of annual sunshine, Cote d'Ivoire's climate creates perfect conditions for solar energy harvesting. Traditional solar panels require separate installation space, but photovoltaic curtain walls serve dual purposes:

• Building envelope protection
• Continuous power generation
• Reduced HVAC costs through improved insulation
