  1. Spandrels syracuseglass.com archpaper.com bisem-usa.com

  2. Parapets / Balconys solarbuildingtech.com kolumbus.fi

  3. Solar PV Rooftops • The standard rooftop mounting available: • Parallel to roof • Angled mount imetco.com asera.net

  4. Solar Roof Slates Images courtesy: Solar Century • C21 Solar slates. • Integrate with cost-effective concrete tile system • Low visual impact, aesthetically pleasing.

  5. Solar shingle • Dow are marketing solar integrated shingles in the US under the name Powerhouse

  6. Thin film roof PV • Flexible thin film modules laminated to a roof membrane • Lower efficiency than rigid, but more flexible in location altenergymag.com

  7. Direct mount PV • By tweaking the design of regular PV panels, a direct mount that negates many mounting problems / wind load etc lumetasolar.com

  8. Direct mount PV • If this mode of PV deployment were to be included in the design phase, savings could be made • Roof load would be lower reducing requirement • Elimination of fixtures, removing cost and speeding build • Less wind load issues as PV is flush to the roof

  9. Direct mount PV • Including the PV as part of the sawtooth / northlight design. Alignment complements both aspects. solarfassade.info

  10. Who do you need to involve for a successful design? • BIPV manufacturer • Architect • Project manager • Structural engineer • Electrical engineer • Building shell designer • Façade / roof contractor Opportunity for firms offering an approach that holistically integrates professions and trades.

  11. What other functions could BIPV perform? • Privacy screening • Solar protection • Architectural design element • Heating • Thermal insulation • Weather protection • Residual structural support • Burglary protection (toughened glass) • Sound protection and insulation

  12. Conclusion • There is a global future for BIPV • It is growing • It will remain focused upon the primary areas of façade, roof, spandrels, parapets and balconies • Increasing energy efficiency and carbon reduction measures will drive demand, as will improved PV efficiency AND innovation in the field • Success will come from the integration of the BIPV into the construction process and the building itself, so a partnership with façade / roof manufacturers and/or those providing the mounting systems would seem optimal
