Smart and integrable concentrated hybrid PV module for building facade
Our proposal aims to develop innovative PV solar modules, based on high efficiency solar cells, that could be easily incorporated in the available areas of building façades (building integrated PV - BIPV or building applied PV - BAPV).
Bringing PV plants closer to consumption areas will not only reduce the need of energy transport, but also help the creation of micro-grids with lower energy cost and lower environment footprint.
