SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR ENERGY GENERATION BUILDING INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAICS (BIPV)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BIPV panels are designed solar modules that replace conventional façade coverings and are integrated in the building skin. More than just traditional covering, they deliver not only protection against the elements and aesthetics, but also renewable energy to the building.
Solar façades are one of the cleverest ways to reduce the environmental impact of a building. BIPV helps designers to comply with building codes that specify the maximum primary energy consumption of the building or even the amount of renewable energy to be generated on-site by the building.
Furthermore, BIPV for vertical façades are generating financial earnings by reducing the electricity need from the grid, as well as revenues by selling excess electricity to the grid.
BENEFITS & APPLICATIONS
From semi-transparent to fully colored for several uses on the building
BIPV panels are most widely used to cover non-transparent parts of the façade (e.g. ventilated facades or spandrel areas). Thanks to the latest technologies it is today possible to have modules combining high efficiency and appealing aesthetics, with a large range of colors and textures that can meet any design requirement of the architect.
The module integrates perfectly into the façade and the solar technology becomes invisible.
Moreover, solar modules with semi-transparent cell spacing, can be used in skylights, in vertical façade, also in double or triple glazing units, letting light coming in.
More than for the façade (as insulated glazing units, curtain wall or ventilated façade), BIPV panels can turn any part of a building into an active energy producing part, such as rooftop, balcony railings or canopies…
APPEARANCE
Countless different designs available
- Countless colors, in several tones and intensities
- Various glass structures and finishes
- Numerous geometries with a large range of sizes and shapes possible
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
A profitable investment turning the façade to a source of energy
Solar building envelope made with BIPV turns passive building into an energy producing solar skin which is amortized within few years, and then becoming profitable power plants.
