BIPV – buildings as power plants of the future?

The building sector plays a special role in the transformation
toward a climate-neutral society. It is responsible for up to 40
% of all CO2 emissions worldwide. Politics and society have
recognized this importance. Laws and regulations are being
defined, and subsidies are being offered. The expansion of solar
energy on the way to climate neutrality will activate
considerable areas for energy production.  One advantage is
when existing areas or areas that are to be built anyway are used
several times. The integration of solar panels into roofs and
facades of buildings extends their function: in addition to
energy generation, they provide weather protection, sun
protection, light guiding, fall protection, sound and visual
protection, thermal insulation as well as the role as a design
element. Dieter Moor, CEO Europe of ClearVue PV, reveals what the
concrete solutions look like and which trends are currently
determining the market.
