Canadian Solar introduces BIPV module line

  • Canadian Solar BIPV module
    Canadian Solar BIPV module

Canadian Solar BIPV modules use double low iron tempered glass with solar cells laminated in between, making them ideal for roofs, skylights and/or facades. The modules use double low iron tempered glass with solar cells laminated in between, this means that the fundamental ideal of building material to generate electrical power is now a reality. With a 55W-115W/m2 output depending on cell spacing; the cells are made up of crystalline (mono or poly 125mm/ 156mm).

Problem

Achieving the balance between aesthetics and functionality or durability can pose problems in BIPV applications. Many applications face not only the problem of looking good, but also whether they will be durable in all weather situations.

Solution

As with many other new BIPV products, Canadian Solar's modules come with open, frameless edges for architectural elegance and simplicity. These modules come with a guarantee of 10 years for 90% power and 25 years for 80% power, reducing the concern surrounding durability.

Applications

The BIPV modules are ideal for roofs, skylights and/or facades.

Availability

Currently available.

    Photovoltaics International 16th Edition

    This sixteenth edition of Photovoltaics International marks four years of production of the quarterly journal. As always, our focus is on efficiency and quality improvement and cost reduction in manufacturing. As 2012 rolls along, companies are falling by the wayside due to supply and demand issues, ASP declines and drastic governmental subsidy cuts. A clear picture of 2012 is offered through papers from the likes of TÜV Rheinland, Fraunhofer ISE, SEMI PV Group and EPIA, amongst others.

    Photovoltaics International Lite, Volume 05 - 2011

    This digital interactive Lite sees Tom Cheyney follow Agua Caliente’s progress on becoming one of first truly utility-scale PV power farms, where 40–50MW (AC) will be commissioned by the end of the year. We also feature one of the world’s largest silicon thin-film PV power plants, Avenal; a report on warnings of the collapse of module prices from Solarbuzz and PI-Berlin presents tips on PV module testing. A print version of this edition will be distributed at Solar Power International 2011 in Dallas, Texas.
