Innovative BIPV Applications

Our solar panels seamlessly integrate photovoltaic technology into building exteriors, transforming them into active energy-generating surfaces without compromising design. Leveraging advanced color technologies, we provide a wide array of color options and customization features, ensuring that each facade complements the architectural vision of the building without compromising its value as a sustainable asset.

Why Vertical Solar Just Works

  • Balanced energy distribution:
    Vertical solar panels generate power more evenly throughout the day, peaking during off-peak hours to ease grid demand.
  • Better winter performance:
    Facade panels capture low-angle sunlight more effectively, boosting energy production in winter.
  • Efficient energy storage:
    Vertical systems store excess energy during off-peak times when demand is higher, reducing storage costs and grid strain.
  • Stable energy supply:
    Their consistent output makes energy flow more predictable, simplifying grid management.

Tailored for India

BIPV has huge potential in India, especially for smart cities, commercial buildings, and large infrastructure projects. With falling solar prices, increasing energy demands, and government push for renewables, BIPV adoption is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

  • Subsidies & Financial Incentives:
    The Indian government offers capital subsidies and incentives under schemes like PM-KUSUM, GBI for Solar Rooftop, and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). (Source: MNRE, India Budget 2023-24)
  • Supportive Building Regulations:
    BIPV aligns with India’s green building norms, such as the ECBC (Energy Conservation Building Code) and IGBC standards. (Source: Bureau of Indian Standards - BIS, Green Building Council of India)
  • Faster Approvals for BIPV-integrated Buildings:
    Projects with BIPV can qualify for faster environmental and municipal clearances in some states. (Source: State Renewable Energy Policies - Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu)
  • Supports India’s Renewable Energy Targets:
    Contributes to India’s ambitious goal of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. (Source: National Solar Mission - NSM, MNRE)

Quality

To ensure durability and performance, we have developed rigorous in-house testing procedures and integrated additional quality checks to maintain the highest standards. Our Solar Suite displays applicable certifications for your custom design.

Quality Controls

Batch color consistency – Prevents checkered facades and power mismatches

Mismatch detection – Ensures uniform energy output in multicolored modules

Quality inspection – Examines beneath the graphic layer for hidden defects

Degradation and aging tests – Assesses color stability over time

I-V measurement (Flash test) – Confirms electrical performance

Electroluminescence imaging (EL-test) – Detects hidden cell defects

Life Cycle Assessment

Our mission includes integrating innovative design into high-performance, custom solar solutions while ensuring our products are increasingly recyclable at the end of their lifespans. Our solar panels come with a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for sustainability and performance assurance.

Safety

Our products undergo rigorous testing to ensure compliance with relevant building standards, guaranteeing safety and durability.

Safety Precautions

  • Fire safety - The following building norms and IEC norms typically apply:
    • EN 13501 | Fire test for building materials
    • IEC 61730 | Module safety qualification
  • Optional heat soaking

    Reduces the risk of spontaneous glass breakage from nickel sulfide inclusions. While not always essential, it can improve the durability and safety of PV modules in certain conditions. We offer heat soaking as an additional service and can help determine if this extra step would enhance the reliability of your solar modules based on your project’s specific needs.

  • Mismatch prevention software – Translates multi-colored images safely, avoiding hotspot risks.

Glass/glass solar panels

Glass/glass solar panels offer an impressive expected lifespan of ~ 50 years. Built to endure tough environments, these panels offer long-term performance and reliability.
