SUNAGE: Custom BIPV Solutions Where Solar Energy Meets Architecture
Founded in 2007 in Ticino, Switzerland, SUNAGE began as a manufacturer of conventional photovoltaic modules. Over the years, the company has continuously evolved, first introducing colored photovoltaic panels and later specializing in advanced glass-glass solutions for Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV).
Today, SUNAGE is recognized for its ability to combine renewable energy generation with architectural design. Its customized BIPV modules can be seamlessly integrated into roofs, ventilated façades, balconies, canopies, and other building elements, transforming surfaces into active energy producers without compromising aesthetics.
A key strength of SUNAGE is customization. The company develops photovoltaic modules tailored to the specific requirements of each project, offering bespoke dimensions, colors, glass finishes, transparency levels, and technical characteristics. This flexibility allows architects, designers, and developers to realize even the most ambitious and unique architectural visions.
Over the years, SUNAGE has participated in several European research and innovation projects, contributing to the development of next-generation BIPV technologies and sustainable construction solutions. Today, the company is actively involved in the CIRCMAN5.0 project as one of four industrial partners, supporting the validation of innovative solutions in a real manufacturing environment. These include eco-design methodologies to reduce CO₂ emissions, AI-assisted production strategies, digital twins, energy monitoring systems, fault detection tools, and Digital Product Passport. This commitment reflects SUNAGE’s dedication to combining technological innovation, sustainability, and industrial excellence.
