The Renovation Wave initiative due to be presented in September will be a crucial element of the European Union’s path to recovery following the current health and economic crisis. With impressive cost-reductions and a steep technological learning curve, solar construction products, also known as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (“BIPV”), can bring this potential to the next level.

Solar construction products, which include solar roof tiles, façade cladding or windows, can be installed throughout the building envelope and facilitate the seamless deployment of on-site renewables on heritage-listed buildings.

This webinar will discuss the potential for solar construction products within Integrated Renovation Programs. The webinar will also explore how industrial policies can enable the scale-up of production of BIPV, with a focus on the “mass customisation” model of industrial production.
