BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) rooftops are integrated roofing products that deeply integrate photovoltaic (PV) power generation modules with the building structure. The PV modules are directly incorporated into the roof structure, replacing traditional roofing materials while simultaneously fulfilling architectural functions such as power generation, wind protection, snow protection, rain protection, and light transmission. Constructed with tempered glass and a metal frame, this product combines architectural performance with power generation capabilities. It is an innovative building structure with strong market adaptability, applicable to most residential and commercial scenarios. The system boasts strong functionality, a dense and rational combination of profiles, and a simple and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Product Description
This product uses tempered glass, metal profiles, and solar energy as its core combination, changing the traditional sunroom model from merely serving as an architectural space. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, it allows residents to pursue a simple and natural lifestyle, enjoying the warmth of the sun while advocating for green and low-carbon living, thus paving a new path for environmental protection and energy-saving development. The product supports diverse customization, boasts excellent weather resistance and strong load-bearing capacity, and can be widely used in various settings such as houses, villas, pavilions, and courtyards. It can also be expanded with features such as intelligent shading, natural ventilation, and additional installation options.
Advantage
▶ Excellent Power Generation Performance:
Equipped with high-efficiency photovoltaic modules, the system achieves a maximum conversion efficiency of over 24%. Full roof coverage maximizes installed capacity per unit area.
▶ Stable and Stable Structure:
Reinforced metal components with a weather-resistant surface treatment, providing corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and high strength. The system has passed rigorous wind uplift tests and can withstand strong typhoons.
▶ High Load-Bearing Capacity:
Withstands snow accumulation thickness ≥35cm, wind pressure strength ≥42m/s (equivalent to a category 12 or higher typhoon), and has passed hail tests.
▶ Superior Weather Resistance and Thermal Insulation:
The photovoltaic modules and insulation profiles form a double insulation design, effectively preventing heat transfer from the outside. Built-in ventilation and heat dissipation channels reduce module operating temperature and minimize power generation losses.
▶ Diverse Customization Options:
A wide variety of profiles and surface colors are available. Materials can be sawed, bent, straightened, squared, or rounded to meet individual design needs.
▶ Convenient Installation:
Prefabricated installation with highly standardized structural components and mature installation technology shortens the construction cycle.
▶ Architectural Aesthetics:
Modular minimalist design and seamless splicing technology make photovoltaic roofs a valuable "fifth facade" of buildings.
