This document reports on the manufacturing works and technical feasibility of the first batch of BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) and BOS (Balance of System) products intended to be installed in the project’s demo sites. An update of this reporti will be soon availbale in the website.

This second version constitutes the last deliverable on PVSITES BIPV products portfolio. All the products and families of products demonstrated in the project will form part of a BIPV products portfolio which will be available in different formats. A first implementation will consist in an online matrix whose elements will be each product and its related information. Secondly, each product will be turned into a BIM object and will constitute an input data for the BIPV software tool being developed by PVSITES. Third, the collection of products and product information will be the basis for dissemination materials (physical catalogues, flyers, etc.). This report gathers the necessary contents about the products, after two previous project deliverables  in which the structure of the portfolio was established and the information available gathered.

This report includes a complete characterization of the final modules and demo-systems design through a descriptive definition in the core document and a detailed “design pack” consisted of a Module Datasheet and several Technical Guidelines per demo.

A PVSITES spin-off project has been launched in October 2018. Some partners from the PVSITES consortium have joined forces to implement the BIPVBOOST project. BIPVBOOST is a new Innovation Action at European level, funded under the Horizon 2020 programme which aims at bringing cost  down of multifunctional building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems by 75% in 2030, limiting the additional cost with respect to traditional, non-PV, construction solutions and non-integrated PV modules, through an effective implementation of short and medium-term cost reduction roadmaps addressing the whole BIPV value chain and demonstration of the contribution of the technology towards mass realization of nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs).

Press release issued in July 2018 after a fully-functional beta version of the PVSITES software as an enhanced webServicies platform have been developed

This second version collects, using the templates prepared in its first version, the information about the PVSITES products portfolio. The templates here presented will be used to publish information about the products online, to implement the products as BIM objects in the PVSITES software tool, and to produce the final product portfolio.

This document provides the methodologies used for the simulation of the BIPV modules at element and building level and reports the corresponding results.

This document reports the development and testing of a metal based PV module platform for building integrated applications. More in particular, the modules presented consist in flat CIGS modules with 10%-14% efficiency modules to be use for roofing, carport, facade and industrial applications.

This document provides the methodologies used for the simulation of the BIPV modules at element and building level and reports the corresponding results.

The propose of the result is to deliver samples to verify and test the CIGS-based BIPV design solutions (roof tile and carport panel). the report focuses on the samples needed to verify the specific requirements for building integration, since some designs needed to be tested for safety, mechanical properties and weathering conditions
