The Case for BIPV (Building Integrated PV) Solar

BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic Solar) is a newly emerging term within the PV industry. It refers to any photovoltaic material which is replacing conventional building materials such as glass, facades, roofs, or skylights, just to name a few. BIPV has evolved as a potential technology capable of revolutionizing the PV and building sectors.

Why do we need BIPV?

Photovoltaic Solar is well-known for being a working solution for buildings to reduce their reliance on the electricity grid. The challenge for rooftop solar and solar farms is limited space. With climate goals and a continually growing energy demand, we are called upon to quickly act to reduce our carbon emissions. With the available innovative technologies, it just makes sense to use BIPV instead of normal building materials. In summary, there is enormous potential for BIPV, especially in markets with higher solar irradiation. As with all new technologies, costs will drop as efficiency increases, posing an even better case for BIPV. If you are interested in doing some good for our environment whilst increasing efficiency, then BIPV is for you. Contact us for more details.
