Integrated Photovoltaics
The working group Integrated Photovoltaics focuses on technological and business opportunities and challenges for large-scale applications of photovoltaics, specifically allowing for multiple functionality of PV covered area.
The working group Integrated Photovoltaics focuses on technological and business opportunities and challenges for large-scale applications of photovoltaics, specifically allowing for multiple functionality of PV covered area. For example, the working group will focus on integration of PV in buildings (BIPV), infrastructures (IIPV), vehicles (VIPV), agriculture (Agro-PV). In addition to the overall PV goal of lowering Levelized Cost of Electricity, Integrated Photovoltaics applications can bring the extra value of decentralized, point-of-use electricity generation and simultaneously fulfill, e.g., a roofing, facade or sound barrier function.
With its activities, the Working Group IPV pushes the agreed target number 4 of the SET-Plan - Declaration on Strategic Targets in the context of an Initiative for Global Leadership in Photovoltaics (PV), ´enabling mass realisation of "(near) Zero Energy Buildings" by Building-Integrated PV (BIPV) through the establishment of structural collaborative innovation efforts between the PV sector and key sectors from the building industry.´
