With the emergence of new technologies, the development of commercial solar power projects has become more interesting. Until recently, the only way to add solar energy to commercial buildings was to install standard solar panels on flat roofs.
With the help of architectural design and planning, there are several possibilities to optimize the area for capturing solar energy.
The solar trend is currently committed to providing a single integrated solution that effortlessly integrates with building structures and improves the overall building prospects of the project, rather than just reducing electricity bills. Finally, solar energy technology must be aesthetically pleasing and practical.
The BIPV technology used in large-scale commercial projects combines these trends. This technology can turn windows, roofs, and garages into solar power generation and building facilities. This article explores this technology and its applications to maximize productivity in the photovoltaic field.
What is BIPV?
Building integrated photovoltaics are known as BIPV. BIPV solar panels are integrated into buildings or enclosure structures and have certain uses.
In terms of appearance and functionality, BIPV solar glass can be customized for each project. The ability to change the color of glass has opened up a whole new range of design choices for solar powered buildings.
The benefits of BIPV and building solar energy
Building integrated photovoltaics provide several solutions for structural problems. In addition to the obvious advantages of solar panels, such as generating clean energy, BIPV also makes it possible to deploy solar power in spaces that have not yet been developed, such as on walls or overhead canopies. The latest BIPV offers top-notch ultraviolet, infrared, thermal, and sound quality.
In addition, the unique and stunning aesthetics of the building are achieved through BIPV and building solar glass.
Types of building solar panels
Crystal solar energy is the main type of solar energy used in buildings.
Although both types of building solar glass have several applications, each type of glass has different advantages depending on the location of the solar cell array, structural needs, and ideal aesthetic effects. BIPV solar glass comes in standard shapes, but if your project requires special shapes or sizes, they can also be customized.
Crystalline silicon
Crystal glass can be used to mimic solar panels. Standard solar panels include aluminum frames and white or black backplates. The opaque back panel blocks all light.
Crystal glass supports solar cells. To increase the production of light or solar glass, glass cells can be resized.
Solar designers use crystal photovoltaic double-sided modules. Transparent solar panels generate electricity from the back. A double-sided module is a separate category that increases power through ground reflection on the back of the module rather than physical reflection.
Crystalline BIPV solar energy is more efficient than amorphous silicon, maximizing solar energy output. Crystal glass is attractive due to its unique appearance.
Architects can now create solar systems in various colors, including blue-green, gray, yellow, green, sky blue, terracotta, and orange.
