The BIPV modules are part of a ghaf tree shaped canopy, an architecturally unique construction complemented by an energy-producing e-tree. They were developed in 3 different sizes in order to fit with the structure.

The high-efficiency BIPV modules are sloped installed to increase their production. In the canopy structure, LED are also integrated for illumination.

The 210 glass-glass BIPV modules (eFORM clear) were individually made by SUNOVATION. They are based on the PERC photovoltaic technology. They are integrated on the EFTE Cushion structure of the canopy.

ENOC Group, the Official Integrated Energy Partner of Expo 2020 Dubai, decided to incorporate solar PV panels to power its service-station network, aligned with the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 and Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 goals.
