What is building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV)?

However, solar products have evolved – and now, many options are available under the umbrella of "building-integrated photovoltaics," or BIPV. BIPV products merge solar tech with the structural elements of buildings, leading to many creative and innovative ways to generate solar electricity.

How do I install an integrated solar panel system?

When it comes to installing an integrated solar panel system, there are two ways you can go about it: Use standard panels – This involves mounting regular panels on an in-roof frame, such as the GSE system or EasyRoof Evolution. This will cost a similar amount to the prices in the table above

What are integrated solar panels?

Integrated solar panels – also referred to as in-roof panels – are essentially the same as traditional solar panels, but are embedded into a tileless section of roof.

Are integrated solar panels right for Your House?

If you agree with the older generations in our study that traditional solar panels are unattractive, integrated panels might be for you. Since they’re installed as part of a roof’s structure, integrated solar panels sit snugly with the roof tiles and blend in more seamlessly. It’s a great look for any style of house.

What is a BIPV solar panel & how does it work?

While traditional solar panels usually don't provide any actual structural function to the buildings they're installed on, BIPV does. At its core, BIPV is a category of dual-purpose solar products. Building-integrated photovoltaics generate solar electricity and work as a structural part of a building.

What is the difference between integrated solar panels and solar tiles?

Integrated solar panels sit in the roof covering, but are often the same size as conventional framed solar panels – meaning they’re still visible – while solar tiles are usually the same shape and colour as the tiles they are replacing.
