6 FAQs about [Building integrated pv Germany]

What is building-integrated Photo-voltaics (BIPV)?

Integrating solar energy into buildings, through building-integrated photo-voltaics (BIPV), is a key vehicle for achieving environmental protection, energy saving and emission reduction goals. BIPV refers to the integration of photovoltaic modules wi-thin the building envelope, such as in roofs or rainscreen cladding.

What is a building-integrated photovoltaic?

The building-integrated photovoltaics take over a variety of functions of other building materials and elements such as weather protection, thermal insulation, sun and privacy protection as well as sound insulation, fire and burglary protection, while at the same time increasing the energy balance of the building by generating electricity.

How is BIPV developed in Germany?

The development of BIPV in Germany is a gradual process in terms of the development of photovoltaic technology, ar-chitectural designs tailored to BIPV, cooperation between different trades in delivering projects as well as government subsidies and political support. Residential buildings make up the largest share of the exis-ting building stock.

Does Schüco offer a building-integrated photovoltaic system?

The EU Building Directive from 2021 requires a largely balanced energy balance (nearly zero energy) for new buildings. With the combination of highly thermally insulating building envelopes and the Schüco building-integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV), Schüco offers the right solutions.

Are photovoltaic modules building-integrated?

1. Introduction Photovoltaic modules are considered to be building-integrated, if they have been designed following the basic requirements for construction works in order to form and/or replace a construction product (see Fig. 1 with examples).

How big is a PV module in Germany?

With a total number of about 53 million buildings in Germany , an average PV module area of about 19 m 2 is required per building. If the module area is compared to the 82 million inhabitants in Germany, this results in a roof-mounted or facade-mounted PV module area of around 12 m 2 per inhabitant.
