The demonstration project Swiss Wolf neighborhood - an innovative combination of BIPV in the Swiss neighborhood
By: Global BIPV - Innovation in integrated solar construction
We at Global BIPV are proud to bring to Israel the best and most advanced projects in the world in the field of BIPV, and one of the outstanding projects is the demonstration project of the Swiss Wolf neighborhood in Switzerland. The project impressively demonstrates how solar panels can be integrated in an aesthetic and advanced manner as an integral part of the building's design.
Project details
- Project location: Switzerland, Wolf Street
- Product name: Black Brick series
- Installed power: 17.5kW
- Installation area: 115 square meters
- The environmental effect: green electricity generation and energy saving.
The demonstration project was carried out as part of a collaboration with the Swiss client Hugo Keiser , and is located on Wolf Street, named after the place where the client's company is located. To adapt the project to the location, a special mold of a wolf's head was created that was adapted to the design of the building.
The BIPV product: the Black Brick series
In this project we used products from the Black Brick series from Jiasheng . These panels are known for their aesthetic and modern design, which comes in a delicate and luxurious gray color. The clean and understated appearance of the system allows it to integrate perfectly into the design of the building while maintaining clear and elegant design lines. The solution is particularly suitable for commercial and residential buildings, where the importance of design is critical.
The environmental effect of the project
Solar panels with a total capacity of 17.5kW were installed in the building, providing approximately 80 kWh of green electricity per day , depending on the radiation levels and efficiency of the system. In an annual calculation, the system is expected to produce 29,200 kWh of electricity , which will allow the energy needs of the house to be covered in a green way and sustainable. Beyond that, the project contributes significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The production of green electricity from the system reduces carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 9.67 tons per year, and reduces sulfur dioxide emissions by 0.35 tons . In total, it reduces the amount of greenhouse gases generated by burning coal by about 11.68 tons per year.
The benefits of BIPV in commercial and residential projects
Demonstration projects like this one in Switzerland highlight the economic and environmental benefits of integrating BIPV systems into new or existing projects. The solution allows entrepreneurs and building owners to utilize the building's areas for green energy production without harming the design or visibility. In addition, using BIPV systems adds great value to the property, saves on current energy expenses and promotes environmental goals.
Global BIPV is excited to continue bringing such successful and innovative projects to Israel. With a combination of technological innovation and meticulous aesthetics, we invite you to join the BIPV revolution and make your projects green, economical and spectacular.
