Building Integrated Photovoltaic Systems

Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems add the benefit of solar cells to building elements. In other words, as well as generating power, the actual solar panels have structural (i.e. become the material) and functional (i.e. become the building element itself) roles.

With BIPV, the full effect of photovoltaics is used, in vertical or horizontal orientations, as part of light atriums, signage, facades, dividing walls etc. BIPV products can provide lighting effects such as semi transparency or dappled light, and can be coloured or applied as an adhesive on a curved surface.

Our designers at Blue Green Engineering can create unique custom solutions that are eye-catching, modern, innovative and unique for commercial, education or infrastructure applications. We can design only or provide a full service solution: design, project management, installation and commissioning. Blue Green Engineering has excellent links into the international markets and industry, so we are always abreast of cutting edge technologies and use both local and international products.

Whether you are looking to retrofit or to incorporate BIPV into a new construction, contact us today to discuss your vision and how BIPV can be a sustainable contribution to your design.
