What is BIPV? What is the application? What are the benefits?

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are solar power generating products or systems that are seamlessly integrated into the building envelope and part of building components such as façades, roofs or windows.

Serving a dual purpose, a BIPV system is an integral component of the building skin that simultaneously converts solar energy into electricity and provides building envelope functions such as:  weather protection (water proofing, sun protection); thermal insulation; noise protection; daylight illumination; and safety.

In general, there are three main application areas for BIPV:

  • Roofs (e.g. shingles, tiles, skylights);
  • Façades (e.g. cladding, curtain walls, windows);
  • Externally integrated systems (e.g. balcony railings, shading systems).

Benefits of BIPV Products and Systems:

- Generate clean and renewable energy;

- Provide shading, insulation and protection;

- Improve buildings' energy efficiency;

- Save cost by reducing conventional building materials;

- Enhance aesthetical looks of the buildings.

  • Durable and Reliable Power Source
  • Suitable for camping, outdoor activities and emergency use. 
Anti-glare Solar Panel
  • Anti-glare solar panels are solar panels which use anti-glare glass instead of traditional anti-reflection glass. 
  • An anti-glare glass uses a special coating or surface treatment to diffuse light and reduce reflections.
  • This makes the glass easier to view in bright environments by minimizing glare from ambient light sources. Besides reducing light glaring, AG glass also offers the solar panels a matt look which could better blend in with surrounding environments, especially for full black solar panels.   
Explosion Proof Solar Panel
  • The Explosion Proof Solar Panel is specifically designed for hazardous environments, where flammable gases and dust are present.
  • Safety Assurance:  Complies with strict safety standards, ensuring that the PV system will not ignite flammable substances in the environment.
  • Durable Construction:  Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, offering long-lasting, maintenance-free operation.
  • Applications:  Oilfields, Gas stations, Power plants, Chemical plants, Any other location requiring explosion-proof solutions.
Balcony Solar System
  • It is composed of solar panels, micro-inverters, cables and mounting components.
  • Save energy cost;
  • Quick and simple installation;
  • Space-saving;  
  • Various designs and options available.
