Tecnalia: Boosting the integration of photovoltaics in buildings

Posted on October 28, 2022October 31, 2022 by info

Decarbonisation of the economy and power generation contribute to sustainable development

The energy generated by photovoltaic solar panels is clean, inexhaustible and modular. Their application can range from large photovoltaic plants in the field, to the integration of photovoltaic elements in buildings BIPV, – Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics. Continuous improvements in this solution contribute to a reduction in its cost and increased aesthetic appeal.


Working group to promote BIPV technology

TECNALIA is a member of the International Energy Agency’s IEA PVPS Task 15working group. Enabling Framework for the Development of BIPV working group on the integration of photovoltaics in buildings. The objective is to create an enabling framework for the development of BIPV technology, through the penetration of BIPV products in the global renewable energy market, taking into consideration regulatory, aesthetic, financial and reliability aspects.

At the beginning of this month, TECNALIA hosted this working group’s six-monthly meeting at its headquarters in Donostia-San Sebastián.


Opportunities for photovoltaic integration in buildings and in the urban environment

Taking advantage of the presence of international BIPV experts and high-level professionals in photovoltaics, construction and architecture, a workshop on BIPV was also organised for professionals interested in the integration of photovoltaics in buildings and other infrastructures, including architectural firms, construction professionals, glass manufacturers and transformers and manufacturers of photovoltaic elements.

Nearly 100 people joined the event in a mixed format (face-to-face and on-line), in which experts and leading companies in the BIPV sector (ONYX Solar, Kromatix, Virden+Partners, CIEMAT, TECNALIA as speakers and many others as attendees) provided keys, presented new technological trends, and discussed the opportunities and challenges associated with photovoltaic integration in buildings and in the urban environment.

The workshop discussed the enormous energy and economic impact of incorporating photovoltaic technology in our cities, especially through the use of BIPV products: building elements, such as façades, windows, roof tiles and skylights that integrate photovoltaic elements. They produce electricity and can also be depreciated, an advantage over traditional construction elements.

New façade and roof solutions were also presented, including coloured BIPV solutions, thanks to the use of hiddenPVcell technologies on glass. Furthermore, the role that BIPV technology is expected to play in the European energy transition was analysed and the results and recommendations following the TIS(Technological Innovation System) analysis, carried out in Task 15 for Spain, were presented.

At the same time, technical issues to be taken into account in the installation and maintenance of these photovoltaic systems in buildings were also discussed. In addition to complying with the regulations for photovoltaic systems, the technical building code must also be followed, as well as other regulations for building elements, such as the challenges of technology in relation to fire safety.

Therefore, the case study of the process carried out in the refurbishment of the façade of the TECNALIA headquarters in San Sebastian using photovoltaic elements was described.


BIPV technology and implementation of sustainable solutions

Among the conclusions reached, the need to increase European manufacturing capacity in order to meet foreseeable growth in market demand over the coming years can be highlighted, due to the small number of manufacturers currently in existence. Architects, builders and urban planners should adopt BIPV technology and implement sustainable solutions, thus optimising existing land resources for other purposes.

On the other hand, there is a need to unite the construction and BIPV sectors to improve capacity in terms of the new technologies available on the market. It is also a prerequisite to incorporate professionals with specific knowledge, who can deal with the design and installation of BIPV solutions in a comprehensive manner.

Building-integrated photovoltaics, in addition to being cost-effective, can generate a significant share of the total energy required by buildings,  addressing a market with great prospects for the future, where continuous technological development, cost reduction and favourable European regulation will act as “tailwinds” to further boost its development.

Impulsando la integración de la fotovoltaica en edificios

La descarbonización de la economía y la generación energética contribuyen al desarrollo sostenible

La energía generada mediante paneles solares fotovoltaicos es limpia, inagotable y modular. Su aplicación puede variar desde grandes plantas fotovoltaicas en el campo, hasta la integración de elementos fotovoltaicos en edificios BIPV, – Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics. Las continuas mejoras en esta solución contribuyen a una reducción de su coste y a que su estética sea más atractiva.


Grupo de trabajo para impulsar la tecnología BIPV

TECNALIA forma parte del grupo de trabajo IEA PVPS Task 15. Enabling Framework for the Development of BIPV de la Agencia Internacional de la Energía sobre integración de fotovoltaica en edificios. El objetivo es crear un marco propicio para el desarrollo de la tecnología BIPV, mediante la penetración de los productos BIPV en el mercado global de las energías renovables teniendo en consideración aspectos regulatorios, estéticos, financieros y de fiabilidad.

A principios de este mes, TECNALIA ha acogido en su sede de Donostia – San Sebastián la reunión semestral de este grupo de trabajo.


Oportunidades de la integración fotovoltaica en los edificios y en el entorno urbano

Aprovechando la presencia de expertos internacionales en BIPV y profesionales de alto nivel en fotovoltaica, construcción y arquitectura, también se ha organizado un workshop sobre BIPV abierto a profesionales interesados en la integración de fotovoltaica en edificios y otras infraestructuras; incluyendo estudios de arquitectura, profesionales de la construcción, fabricantes y transformadores de vidrio y fabricantes de elementos fotovoltaicos.

Cerca de 100 personas se unieron al evento en un formato mixto (presencial y on-line), en el que expertos y empresas de referencia en el sector BIPV (ONYX Solar, Kromatix, Virden+Partners, CIEMAT, TECNALIA como ponentes y otros tantos como asistentes) aportaron claves, presentaron las nuevas tendencias tecnológicas, y discutieron sobre las oportunidades y los retos asociados a la integración fotovoltaica en los edificios y en el entorno urbano.

En el workshop se discutió sobre el gran impacto energético y económico que conlleva incorporar la tecnología fotovoltaica en nuestras ciudades, especialmente mediante la utilización de productos BIPV: elementos constructivos como fachadas, ventanas, tejas y lucernarios que integran elementos fotovoltaicos. Estos producen electricidad siendo además amortizables, ventaja con la que no cuentan los elementos constructivos tradicionales.

Se presentaron así mismo nuevas soluciones de fachada y cubierta, incluyendo soluciones BIPV de color, posible gracias al uso de tecnologías de ocultación de células FV (hidden PV) aplicadas sobre vidrio. Además, se analizó el papel esperado para la tecnología BIPV en la transición energética europea y se presentaron los resultados y recomendaciones tras el análisis TIS (Technological Innovation System), llevado a cabo en la Task 15 para el caso de España.

Al mismo tiempo se incidió en temas técnicos a tener en cuenta en la instalación y mantenimiento de estos sistemas fotovoltaicos en los edificios. Aemás de cumplir con la regulación propia de los sistemas fotovoltaicos, debe respetar el código técnico de la edificación, así como otras normativas de los elementos de construcción como los retos de la tecnología en relación a la seguridad frente fuego.

Así mismo, se describió el caso práctico del proceso llevado a cabo en la rehabilitación con elementos fotovoltaicos de la fachada de la sede de TECNALIA en San Sebastián.


Tecnología BIPV e implementación de soluciones sostenibles

Entre las conclusiones, destacan la necesidad de aumentar la capacidad de fabricación europea para poder satisfacer el crecimiento de la demanda de mercado esperada en los próximos años, debido al reducido número de fabricantes existentes a día de hoy. Arquitectos, constructores y planificadores urbanos deberán adoptar la tecnología BIPV e implementar soluciones sostenibles, y optimizar así los recursos de suelo existentes para otros fines.

Por otro lado, es necesario unir los sectores de la construcción y BIPV para mejorar la capacitación con relación a las nuevas tecnologías disponibles en el mercado. También es requisito indispensable incorporar profesionales con conocimientos específicos, que puedan abordar diseño e instalación de soluciones BIPV de manera integral.

La fotovoltaica integrada en edificio, además de ser rentable, puede generar una parte importante de la energía total requerida por los edificios:  abordará un mercado con grandes perspectivas de futuro, en el que el continuo desarrollo tecnológico, la reducción de costes y la favorable regulación europea actuarán como “vientos de cola”, impulsando aún más su desarrollo.
