- Building-Integrated PhotovoltaicsBuilding-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are photovoltaic materials that are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as the roof, skylights, or facades. Thanks to this photovoltaic transparent glass, you can avoid UV radiation and infrared radiation, while seeing through the glass at the same time. You can choose between a 10%, 20% or 30% transparency degree.
- Organic Photovoltaic (OPV)Organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials convert light into electrical power. In contrast to typical inorganic silicon cells, OPV laminates have a flexible structure and are robust against ambient conditions. Thanks to the freedom of design of OPV, it can be adapted to almost any surface. OPV uses sustainable, carbon-based “organic” materials. OPV absorbs light in a bulk, not at a discrete interface.
- Coloured Solar Films Enable Custom Patterns on Photovoltaic ModulesResearchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) have developed a new way to integrate photovoltaic (PV) systems into architecture. They use…
- Bio-Inspired Photovoltaics: Sustainable Solar Solutions for Design and ArchitectureResearchers at Cornell University have developed a bio-inspired approach to creating bespoke photovoltaic panels, offering new sustainable solutions for architects, product designers, and fashion…
