The primary purpose of architectural roofs, besides their aesthetics, is to protect the property and the people inside from environmental factors such as radiation, rain, hail, wind, and dust.
From a home’s carport to the central dome of a shopping mall, and even bus shelters or glass canopies at building entrances, there are different types of architectural roofs that are always present in every architecture and urban planning project.
The Challenge of Traditional Architectural Roofs
However, the application of architectural roofs often creates two opposing effects, depending on their design and materials:
High transparency: this can reduce comfort by allowing too much sunlight and heat to enter, raising the interior temperature and slowly damaging furniture and other surfaces.
High shading: this often increases reliance on artificial lighting during the day, leading to higher energy costs.
As a result, achieving the right balance becomes difficult. This is far from the architects’ ideal of playing with light to balance natural daylight and indoor comfort.
Smart BIPV Architectural Roofs for Better Light and Energy
Smart architectural roofs once seemed impossible—but today, they are a reality.
But what if, in addition to protection, BIPV roofs could deliver more value to buildings?
INVITAIC, leveraging its expertise in cells and glass for building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules, has designed a versatile manufacturing process. This allows different cell configurations, creating smart architectural roofs with a wide range of transparency and shading levels.
In this way, buildings can enjoy natural light while maintaining comfort and visual appeal.
Generate Clean Energy with BIPV Roof Systems
At the same time, the integrated cells generate electricity that can be used by the building. This helps reduce energy bills and improve long-term returns on investment.
In other words, BIPV architecture combines design, performance, and energy generation in one solution.
