The technical and design integration of solar technology into buildings is an essential element for the successful expansion of photovoltaics. The fusion of buildings and PV systems opens up new potential for generating electricity from renewable energies. Building-integrated photovoltaics helps to further increase the acceptance of renewable energies.
Today, we are talking to Fabian Flade, 2nd Managing Director of Allianz Bauwerkintegrierte Photovoltaik, about the advantages of merging buildings and PV systems and what needs to be considered in the process.
