INTRODUCTION :
Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) are photovoltaic elements that are used to replace conventional building materials in or on the building envelope. BIPV is seen as one of the key development tracks of PV towards mass application.
What are the business opportunities for architectural solar solutions, or BIPV (Building Integrated PV)? Solar is not only becoming the cheapest energy source. Architectural solar solutions can lead to energy neutral buildings at an attractive financial return. They will become the backbone of the zero energy buildings.
According to a report by Dem4BiPV, the BIPV market was rapidly growing in the last years, from 1.5 GW in 2014 to 2.3 GW in 2015 and the global BIPV market grew about 40%. The global outlook for 2020 is 11.1 GW.
What are the hottest markets for architectural solutions? What are the most attractive market segments and applications in Europe, USA and globally ? Is it solar roofs, or facades, or other structures? What do business cases look like?
These questions will be discussed during our dedicated, free webinar on the 22nd of February.. Our webinar will give you an excellent opportunity to learn from leading players and stakeholders involved in architectural solar. They will share their personal experiences, opinions on the latest developments and their visions for the future.
QUESTIONS TO BE DISCUSSED :
- What does the market for Architectural Solar look like?
- What are market expectations?
- What are the hottest market segments and applications?
- What are examples of business cases?
- What financial returns are possible?
- How to make a financially attractive return with ASS (architectural Solar Solutions)?
