The scattered “photovoltaic panels” absorb the “essence” of the sun and transform it into infinite green energy; Each exquisite and unique “energy cabin” stores and releases green energy reasonably, allowing the desire to save energy to come true.
What is “BIPV photovoltaic building integration”?
Driven by the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the “photovoltaic+” model is constantly upgrading, updating, and innovating, and the concept of BIPV is gradually becoming well-known. BIPV (Building Integrated PV) is also known as the integration of photovoltaic buildings.
Photovoltaic building integration is a new concept of applying solar power generation. Simply put, it refers to installing a solar photovoltaic power generation array on the outer surface of the building’s enclosure structure to provide electricity.
Due to the fact that the combination of photovoltaic arrays and buildings does not occupy additional ground space, it is the best installation method for photovoltaic power generation systems widely used in cities, and therefore has attracted great attention.
The integration of photovoltaic arrays with buildings is an advanced form of BIPV, which has high requirements for photovoltaic modules. Photovoltaic modules should not only meet the functional requirements of photovoltaic power generation, but also take into account the basic functional requirements of the building.
What are the advantages of “BIPV photovoltaic building integration”?
Green and environmentally friendly, clean energy
When generating solar power, there are no rotating parts, no noise, and no pollution to the environment; BIPV buildings can be used spontaneously, reducing the cost and consumption of power transmission process, and reducing the investment and maintenance costs of transmission and distribution;
It can also avoid serious air pollution caused by fossil fuel power generation, reduce carbon emissions, make buildings more environmentally friendly and green, and contribute to carbon neutrality and carbon peaking.
Satisfy the transparent lighting of buildings
For buildings, where there is light entering, every space has a soul, so the requirement for transparency is high. Mingyang Optoelectronic Glass is made of ultra white double-sided glass components, which can achieve a transmittance of 10% -60% through specific light transmission and film removal technology.
Every part of the building is fully lit, and a large amount of daylight enters the room, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
BIPV buildings are a combination of optoelectronic glass and glass curtain walls. The rapid development of curtain walls has enabled various forms of curtain walls to have relatively mature design and installation techniques.
Component curtain wall construction methods are flexible, and the main structure has strong adaptability, making it the most commonly used form at present; Unit curtain walls are easy to achieve industrial production in factories, reduce labor costs, shorten construction cycles, and bring more economic benefits to owners.
Building energy conservation and emission reduction
The photovoltaic array absorbs solar energy and converts it into electrical energy, greatly reducing the overall outdoor temperature, wall heating, and indoor air conditioning cooling load, so it can also play a role in building energy conservation. Therefore, developing the integration of solar photovoltaic buildings can achieve “energy conservation and emission reduction”.
The future trend of building photovoltaic integrated BIPV products is mainly the large-scale development of distributed applications, tracing back to the origin, and returning to the normal mode of photovoltaic power generation applications. The main application mode that should be combined with buildings is the mainstream in the future.
