BIPV: An award-winning solution for solar sandwich roof panels

These advanced panels designed by ArcelorMittal Construction feature plastic covers and TOPCon cells, making them a versatile option for constructing or replacing entire roofs in both residential and commercial buildings. With lengths of up to 11 meters and an output of 2.2 kW, these panels offer an efficient energy solution. Notably, the additional weight of this building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system is just 2.5 kg per square meter, a significant reduction compared to the 12 kg per square meter required by conventional PV modules and their substructures. This lighter weight not only simplifies installation but also reduces the overall structural burden on buildings.

In addition to their lightweight design, these PV-integrated sandwich roof panels also offer environmental benefits. The elimination of glass and substructure components leads to a 25% reduction in the carbon footprint of the system. This innovation has not gone unnoticed, as the product recently won the prestigious "The smarter E AWARD 2024" in the Photovoltaics category. This award highlights the company's commitment to advancing sustainable building materials and energy solutions, positioning their product as a key player in the future of energy-efficient construction.
