BIPV, a great opportunity

In order to protect the Earth, governments worldwide
are increasing efforts to reduce harmful emissions by
stimulating and subsidising the use of renewable energy
sources. Europe especially is taking serious measures,
thus creating massive opportunities for investors
and companies to incorporate state of the art solar
technology into their energy systems.

Europe has committed to severely reduce CO2 emission
with a 20% target of renewable energy by 2020.
Supported by extensive research programs, cutting
edge technology and industry committment, the mass
usage of photovoltaic and solar thermal energy seems
no longer a pipe dream.

Today, many governments worldwide have an extended
offer of subsidies to compensate the investment the
implementation of BIPV technology requires.

A bright future with BIPV

The generation costs of PV electricity from gridconnected
systems are currently relatively expensive
compared to traditional networks. By 2010-2015,
however, these costs will have been halved and, by 2030,
generation costs will be less than the current household
electricity price. After 2030, costs will decrease further
aided by breakthrough technology.
