Abstract
This paper covers design and installation methods for Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) using the new thin-film photovoltaic module technologies with conventional construction products over the following building envelope surfaces: Single-ply, modified bitumen & metal roofs; EIFS and concrete and masonry surfaces; Concrete surfaces, such as parking lots and architectural elements. Installation methods include thin-film photovoltaic modules laminated to sigle-ply membranes; flexible photovoltaic modules combined with elastomeric coatings applied over roofs, concrete, and walls; and re-deloyable photovoltaic systems with magnetic membranes for metal roof applications and self-ballasted insulated roof panels. The subject matter covers new construction and building resotrations. Information for array design and the varius finance operations available to owners is also provided.
