Abstract

The new type of PV elements with solar cells integrated double glass offer architects the option to develop intelligent, innovative and aesthetically pleasing designs incorporating different types of photovoltaic elements. Few years ago architects have designed building facades without considering any application for solar photovoltaic. In Europe a recent marketing study indicated that nearly seventy per cent of a sample of polled architects would consider installing PV elements in the design of new developed buildings or on existing buildings during refurbishment. Since 1990 several projects have given many opportunities for creative design and environmental innovation as photovoltaic can be applied to many parts of a building's external skin. More than 9000 square meters of PV integration have been realized already in Europe.
