Glass has always been the epitome of modernity in India, the material that makes buildings breathe light.
But what if the very same glass was able to breathe energy too?
That’s the revolution SRE subtly sparked, as India’s first photovoltaic glass façade manufacturer.
They didn’t merely inquire, “How can buildings be more attractive?”
They inquired, “What if every square meter of glass was able to pay its own electricity bill?”
The Rise of Living Architecture
Architects in India have been presented with a trade-off for years, style or sustainability.
Solar panels covered rooftops, facades remained inert, and innovation in design ran into a wall of pragmatism.
Enter BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), glass that turns sunlight into electricity without altering the appearance of a building.
SRE viewed this not as a fad, but as a shift in tectonics in how India constructs.
Their glass doesn’t merely cover buildings, it enables them.
Why This Matters Now
- India is in the midst of the biggest building boom in its history.
- Every city skyline is rising, so is the power it devours.
- But rooftops are tight, solar farms require space, and carbon zero is no longer a choice.
- The future lies only vertically, transforming façades into energy.
- And that’s what SRE has achieved.
- Their photovoltaic glass turns a building’s exterior into a smart energy system, one that generates, stores, and saves.
Engineering a New Category
SRE’s innovation isn’t putting on panels, it’s taking off limits. Every glass panel is engineered to precision for:
- Custom design integration: Designers retain creative intent
- Energy efficiency: Gets power with up to 20% solar conversion
- Durability: Works even in India’s worst heat zones
- Ease of adoption: No visual clutter, no rooftop compromise
- What SRE produces is not only glass, it’s architectural intelligence
The Impact: Design That Deserves Its Place
Pass by an SRE façade, and you won’t notice wires, panels, or metal grids.
You’ll only notice smooth, reflective glass, quietly producing power, silently making a point.
That’s Visible Power, SRE’s philosophy that function and beauty should go hand in hand.
Each watt produced, each emission reduced, each façade added contributes to a new lexicon of design, one in which beauty and ethics come together.
Made in India, Meant for the World
SRE’s innovation is home-grown.
It’s thought up, designed, and manufactured in India, for Indian climatic conditions and world ambitions.
While Europe and Japan dominated the initial BIPV competition, SRE is placing India on that map today, not as a follower but as a producer of firsts.
Their manufacturing facilities are testament to the fact that “Made in India” can also equal “Invented in India.”
What’s Next
Buildings of tomorrow will not request electricity, they will generate it.
SRE’s vision is to make that tomorrow available today.
By working with architects, developers, and green building experts, SRE is designing a new breed of Indian landmarks, smart, efficient, and charged with energy.
Because the future of architecture isn’t just to be tall,
It’s to be for something.
