Abstract: A vehicle compound glazing unit with first and second regions including a first pane having first and second surfaces, a second pane having third and fourth surfaces, a first thermoplastic polymer interlayer, wherein the first interlayer is arranged between the second surface of the first pane and the third surface of the second pane, and a heatable layer or coating arranged at the second surface of the first pane or the third surface of the second pane, the heatable layer or coating provided with two or more electrical contacts. The vehicle compound glazing unit also includes a diffusely reflecting structure in the second region, which diffusely reflects incident light directed to the glazing unit from the interior of the vehicle and having a maximum gain in the range of 0.1 to 0.8.

Abstract: A roof panel having an integrated photovoltaic module is described. The roof panel has at least a substrate and an outer panel, which are laminarily bonded to each other by means of a thermoplastic layer, wherein a photovoltaic layer system is embedded in the thermoplastic layer and the substrate contains at least one polymer.

Abstract: A corner connector for hollow-profile spacers of insulating glazing units is presented. The corner connector includes first and second legs, connected via a corner region, that include respective leg inner sides, leg outer sides, end faces, and a plurality of side faces. According to one aspect, the leg inner sides, the leg outer sides, and/or the side faces include at least one retaining element; the leg inner sides provide respective inner bearing faces having: inner regions adjacent the corner region, and outer regions adjacent the inner regions and the end faces. The inner bearing face of at least one of the leg inner sides has, in its inner region, a positive gradient starting from the corner region in the direction of its end face.

Abstract: A roof panel with an integrated photovoltaic module is discussed. The roof panel has at least a substrate and an outer pane, which are laminarily bonded to each other via a thermoplastic layer, and embedded in the thermoplastic layer, at least one photovoltaic system that contains at least two strip-shaped solar cells that are connected in series via at least one electrically conductive connecting element.
