BIPV

Building Integrated Photo-voltaics (BIPV) are materials that generate solar electricity while at the same time perform the role of conventional building materials in the building envelope such as, roofing, skylights or facades/walls.

BIPV was first developed in the 1970’s and has been used in commercial and residential buildings for over a decade.

The advantages of BIPV are:

• Combining the architectural or structural functions of building products with “green energy” features
• Unique aesthetics
• Reducing the overall cost of building by incorporating dual purpose products
• Improving the net present value of a building
• Improving the NABERs rating of a building

ABS can design, supply & integrate BIPV systems to maximise a building’s potential for new and existing buildings.
