Building Integrated Photovoltaic BIPV or Building Applied Photovoltaic (BAPV) represent the combination of proven renewable power generating technology and the building exterior using traditional building practices, using Solar panels in the design and construction of the building in a planned manner. This combination brings benefits such as:

• Financial appeal - costs are combined for a building material and power generation
• Distributed power generation - greater independence and less reliance on centralised fossil fuel power sources
• Economies of scale - maximising the available roof area for renewable power production
• Improved Property values - capitalize on short and long term property investment
• Easy integration to standard construction practice - can be retrofitted to existing construction or installed new
• No independent support structures - minimize system cost
• Hassle-free operation - low to zero maintenance with no moving parts
• Improved aesthetics - avoids the appearance of being an afterthought or add-on

We can integrate into CLIX cladding panel many types of photovoltaic cells such as CSI, ASI, and CIGS. BAPV not only creates environmentally friendly solar power but also enhances co-existence with nature and visual harmony with the environment. Interest in BAPV, where the PV panels actually become an integral part of the building, has been growing worldwide in the energy and construction industry.

With the rising interest in conservation and the development of solar technology, the photovoltaic represents an increasingly important type of renewable energy. The photovoltaic technology has developed to the point where it enables a significant part of the future energy supply to be produced in an environmentally friendly manner. PV cells are a renewable energy source that contributes to climate protection whilst ensuring sustainable development. Crystalline silicon is the original material used by the PV industry. Considerable advances have been made in this type of technology but still crystalline modules remain bulky, break easily and consume high energy during manufacture. Thin film solar cells as recently developed are highly resistant and use far less raw material. The importance of PV in architecture is also growing.
