DuPont: Advanced Encapsulant Helps Create New BIPV Roofing

Recently commercialized building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing tiles from Italy are the first to take advantage of new ionomer-based encapsulant sheets from DuPont Photovoltaic Solutions.

SYSTEM Photonics from Italy calls its new "Roof Collection" BIPV solar tiles an elegant new choice for adding aesthetically appealing, built-in photovoltaic power generation when roofing or reroofing.

The "Roof Collection" solar tiles use new DuPont PV5300 Series encapsulant to improve module strength, durability and cost-per watt efficiency. The BIPV roofing tiles are manufactured for easy installation and long-lasting power production.
