Konarka Technologies and Dri-Design have announced the results of their collaboration to integrate Konarka's solar panels into Dri-Design's metal rainscreen panels. It is the first application of its kind and the panels are used for façade installations. The panels will be utilized for BIPV installations and offer architects a range of possibilities of integrations into materials like glass, steel, fabrics or plastic.

Ken McCauley, Konarka’s sales, marketing and business development senior vice president, commented: “The first of its kind in the design and construction industry, this integrated solution is a great opportunity to support building owners driving to achieve net-zero goals for building energy performance without sacrificing exceptional visual design. Easy to install, Konarka’s Power Plastic integrates seamlessly into various designs and materials for numerous applications and this integration with Dri-Design’s metal rainscreen system is yet another example.”
