Introduction of BIPV

1. Definition of BIPV

BIPV is the abbreviation of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV), which is a PV building integration system that installs solar PV arrays on the building envelope or exterior surface to provide electricity as roof or facade. The building can generate electricity and is suitable for most buildings, such as flat roofs, pitched roofs, ceilings, etc.

2. Advantages of BIPV

01 Waterproof and Strong

Equipped with water guide device, it can discharge rainwater in time and effectively prevent rainwater seepage. At the same time, most of the components adopt integrated design, which helps to improve the overall structural strength.

02 Easy to Install

The installation method of the POWER STONE BIPV system has been optimized in layers, all components are integrated design. There is no need for cutting and welding on site. The installation can be completed just by tightening the bolts, saving installation time, improving installation efficiency and reducing labor costs.

03 Energy Saving and Heat Insulation

The PV array absorbs solar energy and converts it into electricity, which greatly reduces the overall outdoor temperature, reduces the heating of the wall, effectively reduces the indoor temperature by about 2℃~4℃, and saves about 30%~40% of air-conditioning energy consumption. The effect of energy saving and emission reduction is obvious.

04 Optimal Benefits

BIPV uses the idle roof or outer wall as a carrier to generate electricity, or at the beginning of the construction, replace the original roof or outer wall construction cost with BIPV solar power generation components as the structural surface of the building itself, saving costs and building at one time , 25 years of power generation revenue, multiple benefits.

3. Applications of BIPV

01 BIPV Facade

The facade provides the first view of the building. The arrangement of this system can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of the building. It can effectively improve interior brightness and enhance daytime lighting, and it can also be perfectly integrated with the building to make the facade look beautiful and elegant.

02 BIPV Roof

In the BIPV roof, ecology merges with habitability and efficiency, making it an environmentally friendly building. As a translucent roof, they provide thermal energy, solar energy, anti-glare and protection from severe weather, and during peak power consumption periods, they can also transmit excess power to the grid, thereby alleviating the shortage of electricity and playing a role in grid peak regulation effect.

03 BIPV Pergola

BIPV pergolas are an alternative to traditional shade buildings. One of the great advantages of BIPV pergolas is that they filter out ultraviolet and infrared radiations, which are harmful to health, in addition to generating clean and free energy from the sun.

4. Conclusion

As a R&D and production enterprise focusing on PV mounting system, POWER STONE is guided by product development and technological innovation, and takes the promotion of energy saving and emission reduction as its own responsibility. It has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the development of BIPV systems, continuously upgrade and improve products and systems. Welcome to contact us for more information~
