Building-integrated energy

The envelope becomes infrastructure.

Photovoltaic materials built into roofs and facades, so one element carries the structure and generates the energy.

What is eBIPV?

eBIPV Solutions, for sustainable energy.

eBIPV (econic Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) integrates photovoltaic materials into building elements like roofs and facades, providing both structural functionality and solar energy generation.

Applications

Where the envelope generates.

PHOMI Holding / YouTubeWatch on YouTube (opens in a new tab)
  • Dark eBIPV facade panels integrated into a contemporary building exterior.

    01

    Facades

    Act as both building protection and a renewable energy source while providing a modern look.

  • eBIPV roof panels catching warm late-day sunlight.

    02

    Roofs

    Capture solar energy efficiently without compromising strength or design.

  • A glazed roof and skylight system bringing daylight into an interior courtyard.

    03

    Windows & Skylights

    Transparent or semi-transparent PV materials allow natural light while producing electricity.

Benefits

Why integrate rather than attach.

  1. Sunlight grazing an eBIPV-clad facade at the edge of a mountain landscape.

    01

    Energy Efficiency

    Generates electricity on-site, reducing reliance on traditional power sources.

    Clean energy, built in

  2. A contemporary building whose dark eBIPV facade is integrated into its architecture.

    02

    Aesthetic Integration

    Blends seamlessly into building designs, unlike conventional solar panels.

    Form meets function

  3. Dense green foliage set against a dark architectural eBIPV surface.

    03

    Environmental Value

    Lowers carbon emissions and supports green building certifications.

    Lower-impact envelopes

  4. Ascending architectural blocks illuminated along their edges to suggest long-term value.

    04

    Long-Term Savings

    Reduces energy bills and may qualify for regional incentives or rebates.

    Value over time
