Photovoltaics - the guide to BIPV

‘Photovoltaics’ is the guide for designing building-integrated photovoltaics for those interested in PV technology, architecture and installation. DETAIL believes that it is now time to break open the difficult and complex relationship between high quality architecture on the one side and the requirements of energy-conscious structural engineering the other so that a new language of design can arise.

This addition to the DETAIL Practice series clearly demonstrates how the technical, aesthetic and engineering integration of solar systems into buildings can work. The building legislation chapter, a glossary as well as supplementary sources and indexes serve to further knowledge of the subject. Exemplary and realized project examples of different installation variations on roofs and facades round out the book
