BIPV - The use of bespoke Solar PV modules offers numerous innovations combining individual architecture with modern solar energy use. Standardising installation and fixing components ensures the highest possible standards of fabrication and quality

BIPV - The fact that Solar PV modules can be used in both ventilated and non-ventilated facades, e.g. spandrel panels or parapets, gives additional design scope and enables attractive flush fitting facades with a uniform external grid. In the case of unusual facade designs, the modules and cells can be shaped to fit the edges of a building through with the use of laser cutting. A solar non-ventilated facade with Solar PV modules as infill panels is capable of meeting every requirement expected from a facade: structural integrity, thermal insulation and protection against the elements

BIPV - Exact tailoring of the PV modules to the facade module allows for a very integrated, neat appearance. Polycrystalline solar cells can be a particularly effective design feature, allowing the facade to shine in distinctive blue tones visible from a considerable distance away.

BIPV - Building Integrated PV can be a key design feature of ventilated facades as well as performing a protective function by shielding the heated sections of the building against the weather. Glass or double glazed modules with single pane safety glass are used

BIPV - The transparent or semi-transparent insulating glass modules offer excellent U-values so they can be used in place of conventional double glazing. The complete technical and architectural integration of all facade components, including solar energy generation in one layer, enables unusual design options with a flush fitting appearance across the whole of the facade
