What is BIPV and Its Impact on the Carbon Footprint of the Building

Mitrex BIPV Wall

  Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) refers to using photovoltaic (PV) technology as a component of a building’s envelope rather than as a separate technology added to the building’s exterior. Because BIPV is integrated into the building itself, it can help to reduce the amount of energy that a building consumes from the grid, which in turn […]

BIPV Technology and A New Business Model

The construction industry is relatively slow-moving for new product development and innovation compared to other sectors. Most innovations have been “incremental” in their approach—taking one product with a single function and making it slightly better. Mitrex introduces truly affordable, building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV technology) cladding and glass products. They have dual functions—to clad the building, […]
