Taking Solar PV further with BIPV?
- A Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) system consists of integrating photovoltaics modules into the building envelope, such as the roof or the facade.
- Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are dual-purpose: they serve as both the outer layer of a structure and generate electricity for on-site use or export to the grid. BIPV systems can provide savings in materials and electricity costs, reduce pollution, and add to the architectural appeal of a building.
- The technology is extended to retrofit applications as well.
- Enhanced renewable energy generation improves our contribution to climate change and BIPV helps.
