"COOL PVT" White PVT solar moduls for building integration - developing & test

The aim is to develop a new innovative PVT product for building integration, incl. architectonic white and bright facades fulfilling the important criteria of Aesthetics, Energy saving and commercial attractiv solutions:

• An architectual and aesthetic product at a high ranking standard, providing intergrated and attractiv solutions for architects and the building industry.
• Energy wise a multifunctional product enabling supply of both heat, cooling and electricity and thus supporting the climate goals of reducing energy consumption and shifting to Renewable Energy.
• A technically robust product that can be easily adapted in new buildings and for renovationg buildings.
• A price wise competetive and achitectonic convincing alternative to the existing solar thermal collerctors and PV solutions and the facades and roof building elements.

White, bright or colored facades have hitherto been restricted areas for solar moduls, which are mostly dark blue or black. The innovative COOL-PVT modules will be able to match any color or bright facade, so that solar energy can be integrated into these facades and thus safeguard the aesthetics.

The PVT module type that provides direct cooling is of significant interest where ever cooling of buildings is needed. On a world basis this requrement is growing steadily along with better living standards.
