Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)
Traditional solar is an afterthought—a heavy, single-purpose layer bolted onto a roof. BIPV is different. It transforms the building’s very skin into a functional power plant. By serving as both a high-end structural material and a clean energy generator, BIPV eliminates redundancy. While it has already become the standard for future-proofing large-scale commercial developments, it is now the premier choice for luxury residential projects where architectural integrity and energy independence are non-negotiable.

the Advantages
We are currently ignoring the world’s largest untapped energy resource: the building envelope. Every day, enough solar energy hits the Earth to power our planet 10,000 times over—yet we leave our facades and roofs 'dumb' and unproductive. BIPV transforms these passive surfaces into high-performance assets. By embedding solar technology directly into the building's skin, we eliminate the clunky aesthetic of traditional panels and replace them with a sleek, architectural finish that broadcasts a company’s commitment to innovation and the future of energy.
solar Roofing
We’ve redefined the roof from a passive shield to a dynamic power source. Our BIPV solar tiles eliminate the visual clutter of 20th-century solar arrays, offering a seamless, architectural aesthetic that performs as beautifully as it looks. Built with self-cleaning properties that outpace traditional panels, this technology ensures that dirt and debris never compromise your home’s silhouette or its energy output. This isn't just solar; it's the future of residential energy integration.
solar cladding
Curtain wall products are generally BIPV façade modules that balance daylighting, and shading occurrences. A curtain wall can achieve all the building envelope requirements such as thermal and noise insulations, weather-proofing as well as load-bearing. It also adds to the thermal and visual comfort of the building. Rain screen façade (cold façade) also comes under this category where the air gap between the cladding and the sub-frame facilitates cooling effect and thereby improving the efficiency of the module.
solar glaze
The sun hits more building surfaces than a roof, so why not take advantage of that space? While solar irradiance depends on geography, one or more sides of a building often have decent sun exposure. Solar windows (or solar glass) are a category of BIPV products that rely on solar glaze, ultra-thin solar cells that capture sunlight while also maintaining transparency, like an ordinary window.
solar agriculture
One of the global concerns for solar, has been the potential farmland used for energy, as you require 2-acres of solar to produce 1Mgw of power.With BiPV Solar, you can now raise the solar panels off the ground and at the same time protect the crops from harmful UV’s. Lightweight flexible panels can also be attached to existing greenhouses to provide both power and protection.
General Building Elements
General building elements can include solar awnings, building facades, or really anything structural about a building’s side that can be salaried. More often than rooftop solar installations, these types of solar-integrated building elements experiment with using lightweight thin-film solar panels or organic solar cells.
Covered walkways, bus stops and carpark are also great locations to utilize the opportunity to use BiPV technology.
products & solutions
At BIPKorea, we bridge the gap between architectural excellence and energy independence. Whether it’s seamless roofing or industrial-scale cladding, our technology is designed to integrate, not just attach. We don't believe in 'off-the-shelf'—we believe in high-impact, custom-fit engineering that ensures no two projects are ever the same, but every project is a masterpiece of efficiency.
