Located in the heart of Lausanne, this building is listed as grade 4 in the architectural census of the Canton of Vaud, requiring a particularly meticulous approach. The objective was to design a photovoltaic installation that blends harmoniously with the volume, composition, and function of the building, whilst contributing to the architectural character of the neighbourhood.
The project comprises the installation of 27 photovoltaic panels, delivering a total capacity of 13 kWp. A bespoke panel layout was developed to make the most of the available surface area whilst ensuring a discreet, cohesive integration. The solar arrays were designed with snow guards integrated directly into the panel structure, combining safety, performance, and architectural continuity.
The installation is complemented by a smart charging station, enabling the client to charge their electric vehicle exclusively using surplus solar generation, thereby maximising self-consumption and the overall energy efficiency of the project.
