USE CASES
Three real-world IPV demonstrations
- To develop high-throughput manufacturing route for 3D PV modules.
- To incorporate durable and cost-efficient materials.
- To ensure cells integrity, efficiency and aesthetical grade.
To develop new manufacturing route of glass-free modules enabling the reduction of:
• Weight • Fragility
• Sound reflection • Installation constraints
- To validate a robust FRP-PV moulding process for the integration of PV in the deck
- Complete flush integration (zero gap)
- Similar surface finish (antiskid)
