Photovoltaic Building Integration ConceptsProceedings from Workshop in Lausanne 11.-12. February 1999 Abstract With the rapid growth of the market for building integrated photovoltaics (BiPV) a wide range of products have been developed for mounting PV on buildings. These include simple structures supporting PV modules on flat roofs, PV tiles and shingles, complex curtain wall systems and architectural features such as sky-lights and window shades. Under the auspices of IEA PVPS Task VII a PV Integration Concepts Workshop was held at Lausanne, Switzerland in February 1999. This report contains a summary of the Workshop proceedings and 9 papers that were presented. A Review of PV Products, which was presented at the Workshop, has since been updated and is included as an annex to the Proceedings. A total of 51 products are reviewed, based on information provided by Task VII experts who have direct experience of using these products and from manufacturers’ data. It is intended as a guide for architects and developers demonstrating the range of integration techniques that are now possible. Files for download:
