Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)
With today's rising energy costs and pressure to reduce carbon emissions, architects, building designers and construction planners are putting more focus on the integration of solar technology into their choice of building materials.
Ascent Solar provides a new way to integrate lightweight, flexible, high-efficiency solar modules into building materials to achieve cost-effective, high-performance solar solutions. Our built-to-last solar laminates for roofing and shading applications decrease energy costs and provide a clean, renewable source of power.
Our products integrate with:
- Building facades
- Roofing membranes and metal roofing solutions
- Shading structures
Our innovative technology brings high efficiency solar integration to building materials:
- Conforms to curved building structures for aesthetic appeal combined with great power density
- Qualifies for global energy incentives such as feed-in tariffs and tax credits
- Creates sustainable building products, with a 20-year product life warranty
- Provides durability without the added weight
- Reduces overall system costs by requiring fewer system and electrical components and less labor to install
