From 2026, all new public buildings and non-residential buildings over 250 m² across the EU will be required to include photovoltaic installations, under Directive EPBD 2024/1275. This landmark regulation paves the way for large-scale adoption of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), merging energy generation with architectural design.
ML System has been preparing for this transformation for years. Its BIPV solutions combine structural functionality with energy production, reducing payback periods while giving buildings a unique aesthetic character. The portfolio includes PhotonRoof photovoltaic roof tiles, PhotonWall façade panels, and PV louvers/blinds, all engineered to meet stringent safety and quality standards.
These solutions are suitable for high-rise buildings, public facilities, and projects with demanding design requirements, demonstrating that sustainable energy can be seamlessly integrated without compromising architectural identity. By turning roofs, façades, and shading elements into active power generators, ML System enables buildings to contribute directly to the EU’s energy transition.
With the 2026 mandate approaching, ML System is ready to lead the transformation, making every new public and commercial building not only functional and visually striking, but also energy self-sufficient.
