In addition to the roof of the factory building, BIPV roofs can also be installed in the open spaces and parking areas of the factory. BIPV materials can also be used for the glass curtain walls of the factory office building, ensuring transparency while also having power generation functions. Fully utilizing land space resources is the characteristic and advantage of BIPV.

Definition of Property Rights

The property rights definition of BIPV is still in the stage of being perfected in China. As it is integrated with the factory building, it does not have the function of cutting off property rights and certificates. Therefore, the ownership definition of BIPV photovoltaic roofs invested and built by third-party investors is usually determined through mutual agreement between the two parties.

Long-term plan

Due to the fact that BIPV is a fully customized, immovable, and long-term infrastructure investment, it requires high energy stability from the owner and generally requires the owner to have a consumption guarantee. Moreover, BIPV roofs generally cannot support any additional equipment that may be added in the future, so long-term planning and forecasting are necessary.

What are the advantages of installing BIPV?

High aesthetic appeal of the building

BIPV integrates architecture, technology, and aesthetics. Photovoltaic module panels and maintenance walkway panels can be directly used as roof panels, and junction boxes, connecting wires, etc. can also be hidden under the modules and pedals during the design and construction process. This not only prevents direct sunlight and rainwater erosion, but also does not affect the appearance of the entire building, achieving cleanliness and uniformity.

Long design lifespan

Except for the components and some water guiding systems, other components in the BIPV system are in a relatively good sealed environment, which has a longer service life than conventional color steel tile roofs.

Strong waterproof reliability

Due to the combination of building material properties, the BIPV system requires the use of hydrophobic glass panels, main water tanks, waterproof seals, and other materials to form a roof waterproofing and drainage system during the construction process, which can minimize the risk of water leakage throughout the entire service life.

High construction efficiency

The construction difficulty of BIPV system is low. After completing the bracket and sink construction, 20 people can complete the installation of 10000 square meters of components and the overall sealing of the roof in about 15 days.
