1. Summary
o BFIRST: Building-Integrated Fibre-Reinforced Solar Technology
“BFIRST project aims to answer the demands of the BIPV market, by
developing flexible, lightweight and adaptable photovoltaic systems,
based on a solar cells encapsulation technology within glass fibre-
reinforced composite materials”

BFIRST project:
Concept &
Objectives
2.

o Concept
 Why BFIRST?
 BIPV demands flexibility and adaptability in terms
of design, aesthetics and integration
 Glass based modules are very limited in this sense
 New materials are required to fulfil such needs

o Concept: composite materials as an alternative to glass
Glass fibre
+
Composite PV module
+
Transparent resin
PV cells
2. BFIRST project: Concept & Objective

o Objectives (1/3)
 Main goal:
“Development and demonstration of a set of standardized
multifunctional photovoltaic products for building integration, based
on a recently developed technology for solar cells encapsulation
within glass fibre-reinforced composite materials”

o Objectives (2/3)
 Specific objectives:
 To obtain the same efficiency levels of traditional modules
 Enhanced properties of PV modules due to: monolithic
structures, light weight, modularity, flexibility in shapes,
finishes and colours.
 Multifunctional performance complying with building and
photovoltaic standards.

o Objectives (3/3)
 Demonstration and characterization of BIPV products in three
real buildings located in different sites (with different climates
and general frameworks for BIPV).
 Development of BIPV elements with costs comprised between
1.5 and 2.0 €/Wp
 Up-scaling of production processes for real-scale prototype
fabrication.
 Detection of current and future harmonization needs for
standardisation of BIPV components and contribution to their
development.
