Building-integrated solar panels (BIPV)
represents an innovative approach to solar energy utilization, where solar cell materials are integrated directly into the building's structural elements, such as roofs, facades and windows. This technology enables new buildings to utilize solar energy both as a primary and secondary source of electrical power, while existing buildings can be upgraded with similar solutions. One of the most prominent advantages of BIPV is the financial savings that can be achieved by reducing the costs of both building materials and labour. Instead of using separate solar panels that are mounted on traditional structures, the BIPV modules act as both solar energy sources and building materials, which can reduce overall
In practice, this means that all surfaces of a building, such as roofs and walls, can potentially be converted into energy sources by integrating solar cell technology. This opens up a great potential for sustainable buildings and can contribute to a more extensive adoption of solar energy in urban development.
Another important aspect of BIPV is the aesthetic value. In many cases, the installation of traditional rack-mounted solar panels can negatively affect the visual appearance of the building. With BIPV, the solar cells can become an integral part of the building's design, which gives architects and property developers greater freedom to create attractive
and functional buildings without compromising on energy efficiency.
We are not locked to one type of panel, we can create or develop a design in collaboration with one or more instalments.
Taking into account both aesthetic elements and today's building technical regulations, such as TEK-17 or NEK-400, is essential to ensure that the products not only look good, but are also safe and functional. It is also very positive to focus on tracking and using environmentally friendly raw materials. This contributes to sustainable development and can be an important selling point in today's market.
In all cases, the goal is to create a product that satisfies all requirements, such as tracking and using eco-friendly raw materials throughout the process .
