IEA PVPS Task 15 project aims to create an enabling framework to accelerate the penetration of BIPV products in the global market of renewables.
Operazione co-finanziata dall’Unione europea, Fondo Europeo di Sviluppo Regionale, dallo Stato Italiano, dalla Confederazione elvetica e dai Cantoni nell’ambito del Programma di Cooperazione Interreg V-A Italia-Svizzera
The project consists of a photovoltaic system integrated on the roof of Amilu Farm, building for residential use hosting a farm, located halfway up the hill of Gassino T.se (TO).
The building is the result of a building replacement project with an extension for the construction of a single-family villa with an adjoining farm. On the site was a rural building of the '30s modified and expanded in later times without any important architectural and historical features. The intervention involved the complete demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new volume built largely on the footprint of the pre-existing structure.
The modules are customised in dimensions to spatially fit with the roof area.
Although the photovoltaic system is part of a project that revisits the archetypal forms of rural architecture, it does not imitate traditional materials but retains the authentic language of the solar cell.
The plant (grid connected) operates in parallel with the customer's low-voltage electricity grid and also operates under the “Scambio sul posto” regime with the ENEL distribution network. The PV production covers almost all of the customer's energy needs.
A domotic system manages several home plants and devices (heat pump, mechanical ventilation, induction plates) according to the current PV power generation.
In order to minimize losses in the cables, the field panels, the delivery panel and the inverters were placed in such a way that the route photovoltaic array - field switchgear - inverter - delivery switchgear - delivery point was as short as possible. The field panels were placed near the photovoltaic array.
The anchors of the photovoltaic modules have been designed to withstand wind gusts of up to 120 km/h.
The BIPV was a model to be analyzed to understand the steps of the transformation of the building concept: from a traditional one to a Smart Building. The aim was to examine the ways in which the technological aspect merges with the formal aspects of architecture. The construction principle was therefore to integrate photovoltaics following the design forms and at the same time the energy performance.
The project underscored the importance of seamless integration of technology into architectural design to enhance both aesthetic appeal and energy efficiency. It demonstrated the feasibility of retrofitting existing structures with renewable energy systems while maintaining architectural integrity. Additionally, the project highlighted the significance of strategic decision-making in optimizing building performance and sustainability.
