PV catapult – WP 4 - BIPV

Quick recap…why BIPV?

• (Potentially) low BOS costs• (In principle) best use of existing

mounting and grid infrastructure• (Without subsidy influence) best value

of electricity is at the point of use• Integration with Home Energy System

How to use these potential strengths?

• Improving BIPV products:– Economy– Looks

• Improving ‘regulatory framework’• Improving positioning of BIPV:

– energy production vs energy saving

WP 5 – BIPV - Objectives

• Create perspectives for market development in the construction sector

• Make BIPV more visible and comprehensive to the big public

• ‘Mandatory measures’ for PV installations to the new buildings

• Revision of the EU Directive for buildings by including RES

What are important developments in the current market?

• Addressing consumer (end-user)market• Improve ‘energy system product’

– price– looks, aesthetics– quality, guarantee of yield– maintenancegain confidence

• Increase scale

Task 3. Standardisation for BIPV

Activities: Start-up of CEN TC or WG (possibly under TC 128 “roofing materials”) for EU standard on product quality

Targets: Start-up end of year one, including scope and participants,overview of existing national standards (e.g Dutch NVN 7250) for PV and/or thermal solar energy
