BIPV & its applications

Example CII-Green Business centre, Hyderabad

Founder, Chairman and CTO Andreas Molin
 Net Zero Energy Building at CII-GBC
• CII GBC’s a Net Zero Energy Building
• 125 kWp solar PV system, with PPAM Transparium
bifacial solar PV modules

• PPAM Transparium – unique features:

Solar PV System
• Bifacial solar PV module (360 Wp & 300 Wp);
transparent & frameless

• Bifacial – backside has a power rating of at least 90%

of front side

• Energy boost – 20-30 % with an elevation of 1.5 m

above roof surface

• Reflective paint coating (high albedo)

• Solar panel with undisturbed reflection can yield

+57%

Multifinctional Benefits
• Bifacial elevated panels will reduce chilling demand
• Reflective coating and shaded with elevated panels
• Shading windows will reduce chilling demand

• Other multifunctionality:
• Fence / parapet
• Noise barrier
• Visual barrier

ALBEDO IS IMPORTANT

• Vertical E-W
• Simulations show that the
annual specific energy yield
would be increased to to 1.47
MWh/kWp, compared 0.98
MWh/kWp.
South at 40°tilt, Nordic conditions.
• Moreover, simulations show that
the annual specific energy yield
would be increased to 1.50
MWh/kWp compared 1.01
MWh/kWp
• The annual specific yield increased
with 32 %. The BGE increased from
3 % to 26 %
• Albedo change from 0.05 to 0.80.
Albedo: Specific yield increase 48% .
Bangalore: Albedo increase

 Elevated panels in low tilt
(optimise summer demand)
Energy Balance without grid-export
Smart system
• Activation of loads-
• Cooling- pre-chilling
• UPS battery charging
• Future EV
• Solar Curtailment, if a need to limit Feed-in
• Smart Active Demand & Supply Management
• Eventually => sanctioned load of 10 kW compared to
todays 85 kW.
• Net-metering scheme Telangana
• 80% of Sanctioned load can be fed in
