CHANGING THE WORLD FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

BIPV

A photovoltaic facade that works for you.

One product, one installation, two functions

Close-up of a building facade with dark vertical fins/louvers, evenly spaced, split by a thin horizontal band.

Why BIPV?

Design and function in one:

BIPV replaces traditional building materials – photovoltaic panels become an integral part of the roof, façade, or skylights

Aesthetics and customization:

ML System enables full customization of modules – you can adjust the appearance, color, format, and technology

Energy and savings:

By replacing typical building materials, BIPV reduces construction and operating costs

Sustainable development:

BIPV supports nearly zero-energy buildings (NZEB) and positively influences ecological certifications (BREEAM, LEED)

The conceptual design stage is the ideal time to choose BIPV solutions.

The concept is the beginning of design, and very often at this stage technical solutions are already selected. In modern buildings, an advantageous energy balance achieved through renewable energy sources is of great importance. BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) are the most commonly chosen renewable energy solutions – innovative, customized, and demonstrating care for the environment, which is so important throughout the entire investment process.

BIPV Products by ML System

The basis is a photovoltaic glass layer — laminated or insulating glass with embedded ML System PV cells. The offer includes, among others:

SUN SHADING

BIPV sun shading is an ML System product offering wide design possibilities. It is a façade detail that controls the sunlight inside the building. Shading slats can be mounted vertically or horizontally. The color of the glass and the arrangement of photovoltaic cells allow for diverse aesthetics.

ROOF GLAZING

BIPV roof glazing utilizes the sunniest areas of the building. In glass units, ML System can vary the density of photovoltaic elements, creating an active solar filter. Ceramic printing allows for any coloration of the skylight surface.

CURTAIN WALLS

BIPV curtain walls, by incorporating photovoltaics into the glass package, generate energy while also providing additional control of interior sunlight. ML System offers technical possibilities for both traditional and structural façade solutions. The visual effect depends on the type of coated glass and ceramic printing.

VENTILATED FACADES

BIPV spandrels are an innovative ML System solution for the opaque floor band of glazed curtain walls. Aesthetic variants are created through glass coloration, reflectivity, and ceramic printing. Technological solutions allow for both traditional and structural façade designs.

BALUSTRADES

BIPV balustrades bring photovoltaic functionality to a commonly used solution present in almost every building. ML System balustrade glazing meets the requirements for various types of balustrades. Glazing color variants and ceramic printing provide extensive aesthetic possibilities.

ROOF PARAPETS

BIPV parapets provide additional surface area for photovoltaic installation while concealing extensive technical infrastructure located on building roofs. ML System photovoltaic elements are adapted to various types of supporting structures and can be made in any color.
