Scientists Develop New Production Concept to Cut BIPV Modules Cost by 35%

A flexible, yet cost-competitive, BIPV production that also accommodates the various needs of architects, module producers and system integrators at the same time is now possible, said Stefan Sellner. Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) places high demands on solar PV module design. In the BIPV-Fab project, the equipment manufacturer SCHMID and the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy […]
