Building-integrated photovoltaics

In a building-integrated phptovoltaic system modules are not installed above an existing structure but are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building such as roof, skylights, or facades.

Pitched and curved roofs

On pitched roofs, photovoltaic panels are used to replace tiles. On curved roofs, like the roofs of warehouses covering, is used an integrated photovoltaic thin film technology, on a support structure made by a flexible laminate polymer.
These products come with 20, 25 year warranty coverage.

Roof shelters and photovoltaic glasses

Transparent modules can be used as window glazing in usual windows, facades and skylights, and can be used like sound-absorbing panels and sound barriers. Using photovoltaic glasses on covered patios and verandas is a very elegant design solutions: the modules are made with crystalline sylicon or micro-perforated and "thin film" cells.

Building-integrated PV is more convenient

Add PV "ex post" on the buildings is on balance much more expensive than project the system as a structural element of the building. Ss it serves as coating material and power generator, therefore you will save on costs, reduce the use of fossil fuels and enhance the architectural value of the building.
Building-integrated panels do not take up space, do not require any installation, do not require bureaucratic permissions for their use.
