“Building (and Infrastructure) Integrated Photovoltaics: a positive carbon balance for most situations of solar architecture! Nearly everywhere in Europe!”
“Building (and Infrastructure) Integrated Photovoltaics: a positive carbon balance for most situations of solar architecture! Nearly everywhere in Europe!”
Highlights
- Deployment of solar PVs should primarily occur in buildings and infrastructures
- The C footprint of PV facades is lower than electricity mixes for most EU countries
- Most of the time, this is true for north-facing PV facades too
- PV in facades clearly supports a transition toward a C-neutral electricity mix
