Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) are no longer a futuristic concept, they are becoming a standard in contemporary architecture. By integrating photovoltaic modules directly into façades, roofs, or canopies, BIPV allows buildings to generate electricity for their own needs, reducing operating costs and increasing long-term value.
This innovative approach accelerates return on investment, particularly in the context of rising energy prices, while supporting ESG, LEED, and BREEAM certifications, critical criteria for global investors.
ML System demonstrates the potential of BIPV through landmark projects across Europe:
- Warszawa Zachodnia Station, Poland: 12,100 m² of BIPV skylights with 1.1 MWp capacity, producing approximately 30% of the station’s energy demand.
- BFF Bank, Milan, Italy: 2,197 m² of BIPV modules delivering 320 kWp, achieving LEED Platinum and WELL Gold certifications.
- Innovation Green House, Bonn, Germany: 470 m² of BIPV façades with 62.4 kWp capacity, meeting DGNB and NH Efficiency House 40 standards.
BIPV is unique as a building material, it begins “working” immediately upon installation, contributing to both sustainability and financial efficiency. For developers and investors, ML System’s BIPV solutions offer a tangible way to combine ecological responsibility with enhanced property value and long-term energy savings.
