It's more than Power Generation - Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) ( in German)

Wednesday, June 19, 2024

Time: 04:00 pm - 05:45 pm
Hall: Messe München
Room: Hall A3, Booth A3.150

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) blurs the line between architectural element and solar installation by integrating PV modules into building envelopes. More construction than energy technology, it has great potential - especially in the urban sector, where it expands the potential areas beyond rooftops to include façades while increasing the acceptance of energy technology in public spaces by offering creative solutions. In this session, we will provide an overview of this topic and highlight the potentials. We will present numerous examples of integrations on rooftops and façades. The session will also shed some light on the topic of colored PV modules, the impact of cutting-edge planning tools for implementing projects and technological scenarios for the PV modules of the future. At the end of the session, partners that provide information and support for BIPV projects will be introduced.

Interview

"In the photovoltaic sector, the shortage of skilled workers at the level of electricians is estimated at around 60 to 100,000 people"

September 01, 2023

The shortage of electricians, air-conditioning technicians and IT specialists could put the brakes on the energy transition in Germany, because there is currently a shortage of around 216,000 skilled workers for the expansion of solar and wind energy. What opportunities are there in terms of training and continuing education? And what about the financing of training?

Agricultural PV: Combining Photovoltaics and Agriculture

Thursday, June 20, 2024, 11:45 am - 12:40 pm

Messe München Hall A3, Booth A3.150

Agricultural PV is on the rise - in many European countries, this application, which combines agriculture and PV on the same piece of land, is on the verge of a market breakthrough. The beneficial effects of PV systems on many types of crops as well as dual land use and protecting agricultural activity by avoiding competition for land are some clear advantages. In this session, pioneering agricultural PV companies will present their projects and best practices, demonstrate the profitability of agricultural PV and the benefits of this combination for agriculture and power generation.
