Integrated photovoltaic solar panels

In the research topic "Integrated Photovoltaics" we focus on the following fields of work: Technical optimization and quality assurance of agrivoltaic systems for maximum yields of PV energy and crop. Biodiv-PV produces electricity and biodiversity on the same area. An Incentive for the Rewetting of Degraded Peat Soils.

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) refers to photovoltaic materials that are used to replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as roofs, skylights, or facades. These materials not only generate electricity but also serve as functional building components, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of structures.

Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaics (ViPV) Similar to BIPV, ViPV involves integrating solar cells into vehicles. Solar cells can be embedded into panels exposed to sunlight, such as the hood, roof, and trunk, depending on the car's design.

While traditional solar panels usually don't provide any actual structural function to the buildings they're installed on, BIPV does. At its core, BIPV is a category of dual-purpose solar products. Building-integrated photovoltaics generate solar electricity and work as a structural part of a building.

Integrated PV requires individual solutions that meet multifunctional and often aesthetic requirements. We support our customers in the development of special module designs and the selection of suitable materials.

A Photovoltaic installation whether building integrated photovoltaic, On-roof or PV glass laminates is an intelligent investment that provides: inflation-proof, clean electricity for 30 years or more prevention of several tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year.
