Byggnadsintegrerade solcellssystem : Solceller som byggnadsmaterial

This thesis aims to identify the building integrated photovoltaic solutions available in the market with respect to general pros and cons of different systems and a technical description of there attachment system. Investigate and provide examples of various building integrated photovoltaic solutions in Sweden and describe the experiences and results of these projects. The methods used to obtain relevant information are interviews with individuals involved in significant projects and a thorough search of different solutions from solar suppliers. The conclusion is that solar energy is needed for a sustainable society. There are endless opportunities regarding BIPV, with many companies with different products and individual solutions. But so far it’s not so customary in Sweden. Solar installations have until today not been able to be economically viable without subsidies from the state. But with declining prices for solar modules and rising energy price, a solar installation becomes more economically viable.
