BIPV Features & Advantages
What is BIPV?
Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) are dual-purpose construction materials that use the photovoltaic effect to produce clean electricity and double as the exterior climate screen of a structure. From windows and skylights to rooftops and facades, these components are fully integrated into the building architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why are BIPV solar roof tiles considered a high-value investment?
They are made with aerospace-grade polymer composites and double-sided tempered glass. This results in high cell efficiency and a lifespan exceeding 60 years, with a 30-year power warranty.
2. What type of batteries are used in the storage system?
We utilize Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. Compared to lead-acid, they offer a longer life span, zero maintenance, extreme safety, and superior discharge/charge efficiency.
3. Why should the battery capacity be higher than the solar tile system power?
To ensure a long lifetime, we recommend not using 100% of the battery capacity regularly. A larger capacity ensures the system operates within optimal safety margins.
4. Can BIPV tiles be installed directly onto an existing roof?
No. Existing roofing (like metal or asphalt) must be removed. The tiles are installed onto a specific fixed roof structure involving horizontal and counter battens.
5. What is the main difference between BAPV and BIPV?
BAPV is added onto an existing structure, while BIPV replaces the construction material itself, acting as both a power generator and a protective outer layer for the building.
6. How durable are these solar tiles against weather elements?
The use of tempered glass and integrated structural design provides premium waterproofing and high structural safety, meeting national construction standards for long-term durability.
