What's BIPV

Today the science of photovoltaics is developing rapidly. Because of its resistance to erosion and damage, long service life and operational ease, photovoltaic technology can be applied to a wide range of commercial endeavors. One such endeavor that shows considerable promise is the incorporation of photovoltaic technology with building construction and architectural design. Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) combines structural support with photovoltaic energy generation. The advantages are quite apparent. A BIPV system can become an integrated design element of a building's walls, ceiling, windows, roof tiles, awnings, skylights, facades, blinds or curtains. BIPV materials offset the cost of conventional building materials, produce electricity that would otherwise be purchased from a utility, and blend into the structure in an aesthetically pleasing way.
