Building Integrated Photovoltaics

1. Aesthetic Flexibility: Our CIGS thin-film modules have a sleek and elegant appearance that can blend seamlessly into building designs without the reflective glare commonly associated with traditional silicon panels. This makes them particularly suited for high-rise urban environments where design aesthetics are critical.

2. Better Performance in Shading: Unlike crystalline silicon, CIGS modules perform well even in partial shading or suboptimal sunlight conditions, which is often the case in facade applications. This ability to function efficiently in low-light conditions ensures consistent energy generation, even when building orientations or surroundings cause intermittent shading.

3. Lower Material Use & Environmental Impact: CIGS modules require significantly less material compared to silicon cells—up to 1/100th of the semiconductor material. This reduces their carbon footprint and energy payback time. In fact, CIGS modules produce 20% of the CO₂ emissions of a conventional glass facade, making them an eco-friendly option for building integration.

4. Durability & Long-Term Stability: CIGS technology offers long-term performance stability and high efficiency, even under temperature variations or challenging environmental conditions. This reliability ensures that the energy yield remains stable over many years, providing excellent long-term returns.

By choosing our CIGS-based BIPV SKALA modules, you are investing in cutting-edge technology that offers both energy efficiency and architectural beauty, helping buildings generate renewable energy while maintaining high design standards.
