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 Torre Bassano Hotel is located between the slopes of the Vesuvius and the Tyrrhenian Sea, on a sheer cliff face that follows the shoreline. The area around the structure takes its name from an ancient watchtower that holds Roman and Pre-Roman archaeological finds. The hotel balustrades are made up of BIPV modules.
The hotel's terraces and balconies have been equipped with glass balustrades, which incorporate thin amorphous silicon film so that the presence of photovoltaic technology is not noted. The BIPV modules create uniform surfaces, which would not be possible if installed on iron parapets.
The photovoltaic balustrades generate 11000 kWh per year. The building's consumption related to the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems is reduced by 31%.
The photovoltaic balustrades are made up of custom-made glass-glass type BIPV (Onyx Solar) modules. A thin amorphous silicon film is positioned between the safety glass on the modules, ensuring 30% semi-transparency, which allows an unobstructed view of the coastline and the Tyrrhenian Sea.
It is estimated that the energy produced prevents the emission of almost 7 tonnes of CO2 in the atmosphere. The calculated return on investment time is less than four years.
