Buildings Facade
Integrated Solar cells used in buildings; (Building-integrated photovoltaic)It is actually a photovoltaic materials used to replace the conventional building materials on some parts of the outside of the building such as the roof, Skylights, or Facades. This style is increasingly added in the construction of new buildings as main or additional source to generate electrical Energy. Also old building has been supplied with the advantage of Integrated Solar Energy units in contrast to non-integrated system which is mostly common, BIPV. Usually the initial cost can be cheap by reducing the building materials and labor used in part of BIPV. In addition to that, the BIPV units built on building’s part is an integral part of the design. They form a better blend and more appealing on the beauty side of the building which is one of the fastest developments in the sector of BIPV manufacturing for solar energy.
This advantage make BIPV as one of the fastest growing sectors in the PV industry.
The past decade has opened the door to a countless number of building revolutions that uses BIPV, which proofs BIPV, also as well as on other facilities and on all new projects and renovations, that the technology is effective in providing energy which is used in residential and commercial buildings, and industrial structures, as well as institutions.
