#1 What is Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)?

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a rising technology with great potential for reducing the carbon footprint and electricity bill of a building. BIPV represents financial benefits for the building, but it also means a high upfront cost surpassing that of a traditional façade.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a technology that provides buildings with the ability to generate solar power without disrupting the aesthetic of the architectural design. The technology integrates photovoltaic (PV) modules into the skin of a building, replacing the façade and pitched/flat/curved roofs.

Some BIPV applications include metal PV modules or solar shingles for the roof, customized-sized PV modules with aesthetic design for the solar façade, photovoltaic windows replacing glazing and PV skylights for the building, and other adaptations of PV that integrate into the skin of the building. 

#2 Product Features of BIPV

1. High power generation and High loading

High-efficiency crystalline silicon cell technology, unique packaging process, and higher power generation efficiency.Super strong structural strength, 3 times the strength of ordinary tiles, no fear of trampling and hail.

2. High Security

ClassA class fire protection, Class 15 instantaneous wind protection, Excellent waterproof and shock resistance, and The same life span as the building.

3. Fashion and beauty

Texture color is customizable, Integrated roof design, Coordinated and beautiful.

4. Energy saving and thermal insulation

A unique heat dissipation structure can effectively reduce the roof temperature by 5°C.

5. Easy installation

Standardized modular unit installation, saving time by more than 50%.

#HOW TO INSTALL SOLAR ROOF TILES

1. Batten spacing needs to be in the range of 330-370cm

2. Remeasure the roof to make sure the real situation matches the design layout

3. Lay out the first row of panels to validate the measurements

4. Leave a maximum 1cm gap between the panels

5. Make sure the tiles at both ends of the rows fit perfectly (a=b)

6. Use a chalk line to align the panels in the column 

7. Install the cable that connects the first string of panels to the inverter

8. Make the first connection with the cable connected to the inverter

9. Leave the grounding wire under the top batten to be connected to the top panel frame

10. Secure the screws with the grounding wire attached

11. Fasten the screw on the other end 

12. Secure the hooks in place. 15cm from the end of the panel

13. Continue with laying down the panel and pull back the hood to secure the panel in place 

14. First column set. Connect the cables 

15. Make sure the cables are not connected over the batten

16. Repeat the same in all the adjacent columns

17. Plug the last cable with the extended cable connection with the inverter

18. Join the last grounding wire with the one leading to the utility room

19. Done roof!
