ML System has secured a contract to supply Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) modules for the new Oslo Spektrum skyscraper, marking another significant high-rise project for the Polish clean technology company as it continues expanding its presence across Europe.

Located in the Norwegian capital, the Oslo Spektrum development will rise approximately 108 metres across 27 storeys and feature a distinctive modular double-skin façade with curved corner elements. ML System’s BIPV modules will be integrated directly into the building envelope, allowing the façade to generate renewable electricity while maintaining its architectural function. The photovoltaic installation is expected to produce around 59 MWh of electricity annually.

The BIPV modules will be incorporated into the WICONA unitized façade system from Hydro Group, manufactured using Hydro CIRCAL 75R, a low-carbon aluminium alloy containing a high proportion of recycled material. The project is being developed as a joint venture between Aspelin Ramm and Oslo Spektrum, with HENT AS serving as the general contractor. Façade specialist Staticus is responsible for the façade installation, while Solenergi FUSen AS will deliver the photovoltaic installation.

According to Dawid Cycoń, Vice President of ML System, the contract reflects the company’s growing portfolio of high-rise BIPV projects across Europe. Previous references include the 73-metre HAUT residential tower in Amsterdam, a 16-storey residential building in Helsinki, the 84-metre Artery office complex in Vilnius, and the 174-metre DC2 skyscraper in Vienna, where ML System is supplying double-skin façade photovoltaic modules.

The Oslo Spektrum development is among the first skyscrapers in Norway’s capital to integrate BIPV technology directly into its façade, demonstrating the increasing adoption of energy-generating building envelopes in commercial construction.

As of 2 July, ML System reported an order book covering 54,000 square metres of standardized products, including approximately 17,000 square metres allocated for planned deliveries of PhotonRoof photovoltaic roof tiles under a conditional agreement with a European distributor.

Alongside its growing project portfolio, ML System has also introduced an AI-powered visualization tool that enables architects and designers to generate building concepts using the company’s standardized BIPV products.
