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

Wednesday, June 19, 2024, 04:00 pm - 05:45 pm

Messe München 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.

Are We Experiencing a Successful Renaissance of PV Production in Europe?

The smarter E Podcast Episode 131 | April 13, 2023 | Language: German

The so-called "renaissance" of PV production in Europe is a hot topic in the PV industry right now. However, little is said about what it means to bring the entire production industry back to European soil: Do we have the know-how in this country? The technical possibilities? The corresponding raw material supply chains? How profitable is production in Europe at all at present?

We talk about this with Prof. Dr. Peter Dold, Head of the Fraunhofer Center for Silicon Photovoltaics (CSP).

Timeline:

  • 03:37: For a technology-based society, energy supply is a central issue and a certain independence is essential for survival. How can we ensure this?
  • 05:15 Apart from production, what know-how and expertise is available?
  • 13:55 How profitable is it to bring energy-intensive production steps back to Europe?
  • 16:20 What are the current activities / efforts in Germany / Europe?
  • 17:56 About recycling existing resources like glass, silicon and silver from end-of-life modules.
