What is BIPV ?
• BIPV is NOT
• A non-framed module or a glass-glass laminate
• Too hard to make
• Too expensive
• BIPV market is NOT too small
• …
• …
BIPV is NOT a standard module and should not be compared
FIPV
What is BIPV - Definition
BIPV is a construction building block/component with two functions:
- Primary function
A product that satisfies all of the functional, mechanical and aesthetical
requirements for the given application.
- Secondary function
Generate electricity
BIPV vs. Standard Modules
Engineered to Fit the Application Application Engineered to Fit Module
Electrical Characteristics, Size and
Shape are not Predetermined
Predetermined Electrical
Characteristics, Size and Shape
Product engineering required with
specific application in mind
UL standards Only UL standards for PV are NOT
enough
Engineering Design is for optimum
power generation
BIPV APPLICATIONS
ROOF
FACADES
FACADES - Shading
GLAZING – Vertical and Sloped
GLAZING – Horizontal / Flat

SOME BIPV MITHS
• BIPV is too complex
• Design and Engineering
• Distribution
• Construction
• BIPV is too expensive
• Compared to what?
• Will pay-off with time
• BIPV will generate less power • Yes it might however this is not the goal of BIPV
• New materials and techniques improve power generation
VALUE and POTENTIAL
• Building Material plus Solar Component
• Specialized Low Volumes Manufacturing
• Use of Building Materials Distribution
• Use of Building Industry Sales Channels
Thank You
…GENERATING POWER IS A SECONDARY FUNCTION…
