Building-integrated photovoltaics is a new type of building that integrates photovoltaic power generation functions. It combines architectural aesthetics with energy and power, and incorporates green technologies on the basis of aesthetic demands, bringing higher value and benefits to buildings.
Next, we will show you photovoltaic buildings both at home and abroad.
1. Jiangxi Haihunhou Kingdom Ruins Museum
When viewed from above, the building resembles a Han Dynasty jade disc. Photovoltaic modules are laid on the roof of the building. It covers an area of approximately 3,166 square meters and has a total installed capacity of 380 kilowatts, which can continuously provide clean and renewable energy for the building.
2. Hefei Science and Technology New Museum
The new Hefei Science and Technology Museum is a "zero-carbon venue" built with the concepts of green, environmental protection and intelligence, and photovoltaic panels have been installed on its roof.
3. Dalian International Triumph Building
The world's first 100-meter color high-rise photovoltaic building integration project, with a photovoltaic installed capacity of 247.69kWp and an annual power generation of 180,000 kilowatt-hours, can bear more than 30% of the building's electricity load.
4. Shanghai G60" Science and Technology Innovation Cloud Corridor
The roof of the G60" Science and Technology Innovation Cloud Corridor "in Shanghai is equipped with 130,000 LED lights, and 3 million aviation rivets are connected and locked to the aluminum plates. Moreover, flexible thin-film photovoltaic modules are attached to the aluminum structure, which weighs only one-third of the hard film.
5. Apple's new headquarters building
ApplePark, the headquarters building of Apple Inc., is located in California. The main body of this building is entirely constructed with renewable energy, and solar photovoltaic panels are laid on the circular top. With a total installed capacity of 17MW, it is currently the largest rooftop photovoltaic building in the country.
