This website is completely based on the GraphQL endpoint. The GraphQL endpoint is the Application Programming Interface (API) to the backend of the product data server. If you like programming, you can use the endpoint to automate the interaction with this product data server. You find the specification of the API on GitHub which is especially helpful if you develop software to plan buildings. The GraphQL endpoint of the metabase is then a convenient way to query for data, components, institutions, databases, data formats and methods.

Please add the following description to https://www.solarbuildingenvelopes.com/ :
This is the website of the product data server of TestLab Solar Facades at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE. The product data server is part of the Product Data Network buildingenvelopedata.org. The product data server is an instance of the reference implementation of a database. The reference implementation of a database is open-source with a permissive license, so that everyone can easily create their own product data server as part of the Product Data Network buildingenvelopedata.org.
This website is the frontend of the product data server of TestLab Solar Facades. You can use this website to search this product data server for optical data, calorimetric data and photovoltaic data. If you would like to search the entire Product Data Network buildingenvelopedata.org, you can search there for example for optical data. You will find there also an overview about all building envelope components, institutions, data formats, methods and databases of the Product Data Network buildingenvelopedata.org.

The data format BED-JSON is a general format for optical, calorimetric and photovoltaic data sets. It is defined by the JSON Schemas of the API specification. Other data formats are available, too.
