Technical FAQs 4

What is building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV)?

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a technology that provides buildings with the ability to generate solar power without disrupting the aesthetic of the architectural design. The technology integrates photovoltaic (PV) modules into the skin of a building, replacing the façade and pitched/flat/curved roofs.

What is a BIPV roof?

is a 2-in-1 technology which combine Panel + Metal Roof Building Material) together and mounted on building purlins part of the building itself. BiPV due to its building materials nature, mount tightly to purlins as part of the building, it can cover the full roof space, therefore roof space utilization rate can be often >90% (+20% higher).

How does BIPV technology impact a building?

BIPV technology affects a building in several ways. It requires significant space on the roof to be installed and function effectively, and it also needs additional space to withstand strong winds. Additionally, the design of the building may be influenced by the BIPV system.

What is a BIPV system?

BIPV represents financial benefits for the building, but it also means a high upfront cost surpassing that of traditional façade. Cost is one of the most important factors to consider in BIPV systems.
