Building Integrated Photovoltaic Glass Brochure

BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) glass has a dual role, forming part of the outer structure (glazing) of the building, while at the same time generating electricity. As such, it can replace structural elements (e.g. roofing) instead of being added on to them. BIPV glass in the form of laminated assemblies incorporates either photovoltaic cells or an ultra-thin organic film (opaque or semi-transparent), capable of generating electricity. The high-reflection, high-strength AGC mirror glass can be tailored to the needs of solar power stations.
