BIPV · Building-Integrated PV

Modules that
are the building.

BIPV turns the building envelope into the power plant: frameless glass-glass modules that work as roof, facade or balcony railing. Custom sizes, custom colors, engineering to your drawing — this is the building-integrated niche riding the same construction tailwind that pushed agrivoltaics past USD 5.5B inside a market that shipped 536 GW of modules in 2025, with EU net-zero building policy pulling demand behind it.

Product Forms

One building skin, four module formats

BIPV replaces conventional building materials with modules that generate — which means the module has to follow the architecture, not the other way around. We build four families and engineer them per project:

  • Frameless glass-glass — no aluminium frame, flush integration with glazing systems
  • Solar roof tiles — 90–110 W tile formats that read as slate or tile from street level
  • Balcony / plugin — 100–200 W modules for railings and plug-in apartment systems
  • Custom color glass — bronze, terracotta, grey and RAL options; AR coating keeps reflection below 2%

Custom sizes run 500–2500 mm with ±2 mm tolerance, with J-box position and fixing pattern per your drawing — a typical co-development cycle is 6–8 weeks from sketch to shipment.

Why Buyers Choose BIPV

Three numbers importers quote back to us

Reflection

<2%

AR-coated colored glass keeps reflection below 2% — the module reads as a building surface, not a mirror.

Tolerance

±2 mm

Custom sizes from 500 to 2500 mm with ±2 mm tolerance, so panels line up with glazing grids and railing profiles.

Certs & warranty

IEC + Class A

IEC 61215/61730, CE and ISO 9001/14001/45001 plus IEC 62941, with a Class A fire rating option and UL 61730 for North America; 15/30-yr warranty on all formats.

Applications

Where the envelope generates

Facades

Curtain walls

Dark bronze and grey glass panels as the cladding itself — generation built into the elevation.

Roofs

Frameless & tiles

Frameless 300–400 W panels or 90–110 W solar tiles that follow the roof's rhythm — China added 36 GW of rooftop in Q1 2025 alone.

Shade

Pergolas & carports

Frameless panels as structural shade over terraces, walkways and parking.

Balconies

Plugin railing

100–200 W plugin modules for apartment residents — the fast-growing EU rental segment.

BIPV FAQ

Before you send the RFQ

Answers to the four questions that decide a BIPV order. The full 16-question FAQ covers MOQ, shipping and warranty terms.

Full FAQ
Can you match my facade color?
Yes — colored glass with AR coating keeps reflection below 2%; bronze, terracotta, grey and custom RAL options are available on frameless formats.
What is the lead time for custom BIPV?
Custom sizes and colors run a 6–8 week production cycle from approved drawing; stock frameless and plugin formats ship from stock in 3–7 days.
Which certificates apply to building products?
IEC 61215/61730, CE and ISO 9001/14001/45001 as standard, with a Class A fire rating option for roof and facade installations.
Who handles the engineering?
Our engineers co-develop with your architect — dimension, J-box position, fixing pattern and glazing detail — from sketch to shipment, with drawing approval in about one week.
