What is BIPV?

BIPV, or Building Integrated Photovoltaics, refers to the integration of solar panels into the building materials of a structure. This can include using photovoltaic panels as roofing, siding, or window glazing.

What are the benefits of BIPV?

BIPV may cost you nothing

Once in place, BIPV becomes a revenue center with up to 30 years of savings from system generated electricity.

Environmental benefits

BIPV reduces carbon emissions and helps to combat climate change by using a clean and renewable energy source.

Improved aesthetics

BIPV can add a modern and attractive design element to a building, while also serving as a functional energy source.

Increased property value

Studies have shown that buildings with BIPV can have higher property values than those without.

Long lifespan

BIPV has a long lifespan, with many products having warranties of 25 years or more.

Low maintenance

BIPV requires very little maintenance, making it a low-cost and hassle-free energy solution.

Case Study: SUNQ Head office

One example of our BIPV products in action is at our own head office. We installed BIPV panels on two sides of our building, creating a striking black façade with a total installed power of 66 kW. The results have been impressive: in addition to the aesthetic benefits, we’ve seen a 90% reduction in our energy bills and a total PV production of 40 MW every year since the panels were installed in 2019.
