What makes it so special is that the elegant fa\u00e7ade not only generates up to 50 kilowatts of electricity (peak power). It also provides important insights into the behaviour of the solar modules under different weather conditions.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar energy is considered one of the most promising renewable energies. More and more houses have a photovoltaics on the roof and large open-space systems are increasingly being seen. But solar modules can also be integrated in more diverse ways, for example in building facades. Through the solar activation of the entire building envelope, photovoltaics becomes a building element and turns buildings into electricity generators. Moreover, the solar modules can also be integrated in a visually appealing way. For two years now, the HZB-based consulting office for building-integrated Photovoltaics (BAIP) <\/a>has been providing advice on precisely this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the HZB itself is doing the practical test. “For the first time, a complete building with a facade-integrated photovoltaic system is being operated as a real laboratory. The extensive measurement technology enables new insights into the real behaviour of solar modules in a facade in different seasons and weather conditions, over a long period of time,” says Dr. Bj\u00f6rn Rau, who heads the BAIP office at HZB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
