Kingspan Group, a UK-based provider of sustainable products for the construction industry, has developed an innovative insulated BIPV module for industrial and commercial rooftops which is expected to “revolutionise” the BIPV market.
The new Kingspan Power Panel — which was on display at Ecobuild, a trade show held in London, UK, last week — is composed of a 240w module supplied by Yingli Green Energy with insulation attached to the back. The wires are encased within the insulation and lead to a junction box located at the top of the module.
Speaking to Solar Power Portal’s sister site Design-Build Solar at Ecobuild, Ross McGuinness, Area Sales Manager at Kingspan, explained: “This product is essentially a hybrid version of an existing product that we have. Kingspan has an insulated panel called RW which is a roof and wall solution. We’ve taken out two of the crowns which run down the panel and integrated a PV module. So in terms of how you install the PV module mechanically onto the roof it’s the exact same as a roof which roofing contractors have been installing for the past 25 years.”
