What is BIPV Facade Cladding?

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) represent a cutting-edge advancement in solar technology, where building materials are seamlessly combined with solar cells, integrating into structures to generate electricity while maintaining aesthetic appeal, transforming surfaces like facades, roofs, and windows into functional energy-producing components.

FREE ENERGY

Benefit #1

By adopting BIPV technology, every building can capture solar energy, generate its own energy to power the building facilities such as lighting, air conditioning, general electrical use and more. Ideal for high rise buildings, BIPV is one of the most innovative solution to solar power generation today

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

Benefit #2

The amount of solar power generation from BIPV is depending on the total surface areas of the buildings available to be used. With high rise buildings being one of the most popular types of building today, BIPV presents an excellent opportunities for developers to ensure each building can sustain its facilities with green energy technology

ARTISTIC & FUNCTIONAL

Benefit #3

Unlike conventional solar panels, BIPV blends seamlessly into architectural designs, enhancing the building visual appeal. BIPV is available in a wide range of colours, sizings and thicknesses – customised to exact architectural specification

LONG TERM SAVINGS & INVESTMENT

Benefit #4

Designed to endure harsh weather conditions—including snow, heavy rainfall, and hail—BIPV surfaces can remain functional for up to 30 years, continuously generating energy throughout the building lifespan. Despite the high initial investment, building owners can recover costs over time through sustained energy production and savings.

DURABLE & RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

Benefit #5

BIPV materials are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including heavy rain, snow, and hail, ensuring durability over decades. Not only do BIPV functions as integral structural elements, but it also continuously generate clean energy for up to 30 years.

SPACE SAVING 2-IN-1 DESIGN

Benefit #6

BIPV is seamlessly integrated into the building structure, replacing conventional materials and eliminating the need for dedicated space for separate solar panel installations. This integration is particularly beneficial in urban environments, where rooftop or ground space is limited. By utilising surfaces such as facades, windows, and roofs for solar energy generation, BIPV maximises the available area without compromising architectural design or functionality

FUTURE-PROOF YOUR BUILDING

Benefit #7

In densely populated cities, BIPV maximises energy generation without requiring additional land, making it a key component of future urban planning. BIPV can future-proof buildings by making them more sustainable, energy-efficient, and adaptable to evolving environmental and regulatory demands

Stay Ahead

SUMMARY

BIPV future-proofs buildings by making them energy-efficient, cost-effective, and resilient to changing environmental and regulatory conditions. By generating clean energy on-site, BIPV enhances energy independence, reducing reliance on external power grids and fluctuating energy prices. Though initial costs may be high, long-term savings from lower electricity bills and maintenance make it a smart investment
