Solar panels are becoming an increasingly familiar sight up and down the country, and by now most people would be able to recognise one if they saw it. However a new market sector is emerging within the solar industry, and this is Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). But what is BIPV you may ask, and how does it compare to the more common non-integrated solar panels? BIPV refers to when photovoltaic materials are integrated into the construction of the building itself in the place of more conventional building materials. For example, this can be roofing, facades, shading and skylights. instalacje fotowoltaiczne
