In 2022, on this basis, CECEP Solar Energy Technology (ZhenJiang) Co., Ltd. took another key step that is considered by the industry as "BIPV ecologicalization":
According to CECEP Solar Energy Technology (ZhenJiang) Co., Ltd., after a multi-party investigation of the steel structure building system, the Butler building system finally became an excellent carrier to carry the PV system of CECEP Solar Energy Technology (ZhenJiang) Co., Ltd. due to its leading maintenance-free full life cycle in the industry. At present, CECEP Solar Energy Technology (ZhenJiang) Co., Ltd. is working with Butler, a global leader in prefabricated steel structure building system, to jointly develop the BIPV system solution, provide PV products compatible with different specifications and technologies, and complete the one-stop overall turnkey solution of project evaluation, design, construction, delivery and operation and maintenance. This solution will separate customers from the tedious engineering process, thus enjoying the benefits of power generation easily. This system solution has been applied to the new 1.5GW high-efficiency solar cell module intelligent manufacturing project of CECEP Solar Energy Technology (ZhenJiang) Co., Ltd. for the first time, and is expected to be put into operation in the third quarter of 2022.
The most noteworthy innovation of this solution is that CECEP Solar Energy Technology (ZhenJiang) Co., Ltd. takes the lead in realizing the "two-way embrace" of PV and building field in the whole industry. In addition to using the new products for PV roofs launched last year in the solution, more importantly, after communicating with the builders, both parties reached a consensus on the prospect of PV roofs. Combined with the product strength of CECEP Solar Energy Technology (ZhenJiang) Co., Ltd. in manufacturing and the investment strength in the project, both parties are determined to improve the traditional metal roof enclosure system and make it more suitable for PV projects, and jointly create a new BIPV ecosystem integrating building materials, PV, operation and maintenance and investment.
"Breakthrough". Huang Guoping, General Manager of CECEP Solar Energy Technology (ZhenJiang) Co., Ltd., expressed the excitement in his heart: "To do a good job in traditional BIPV projects, it is inevitable to use customized solutions with high costs, which is not friendly to the cost-sensitive PV module manufacturing and the pursuit of mass production products. This time, we worked with partners to make innovations in connecting systems and other aspects, and the size of modules is no longer limited." Huang Guoping pointed out that under the tide of global carbon neutrality, the enthusiasm and determination of traditional industries for green transformation have increased unprecedentedly. They have begun to consciously and actively embrace new energy and jointly launch new products suitable for the PV industry with PV enterprises.
The PV roof can be compatible with PV modules of different specifications and technologies, so that the size of modules is no longer limited. In addition, the structural combination of the PV roof is reasonable, there is no hidden danger of water leakage, the roof is maintenance-free, the ability to resist wind and snow is excellent, and the power generation and building functions are integrated. On the premise of meeting high load capacity, the PV modules carried by this product are 13.5% lighter than traditional modules, with four advantages of "light weight, drainage, high load and unlimited size".
In terms of PV curtain wall, PVB adhesive film packaging is adopted to meet the double standards of PV modules and buildings, with the basic characteristics of high conversion efficiency, safety and explosion prevention, and ultra-long service life. This product can be customized in a colorful manner, and can be flexibly switched between unit and structural curtain walls according to the needs of different construction methods.
Bulter is affiliated to the world's steel giant and Australia's steel manufacturer BlueScope Group. It is also the founder of the global prefabricated light steel structure building system. With more than 120 years of project experience at home and abroad, it is always committed to providing customers with customized industrial building solutions with the latest concepts and high-quality maintenance-free building systems. In 1992, Bulter entered the Chinese market and had three production bases in Shanghai, Tianjin and Xi'an. So far, it has completed more than 5,500 projects with a total floor area of more than 76 million m2, serving automobile, electronics, chemical industry, machinery, food and beverage, medicine, logistics, new energy and other industries. With the increasing importance of energy conservation and carbon reduction, Butler began to explore intelligent steel solutions, entered the field of green buildings, helped customers in various industries to complete the construction of PV projects in the past 20 years, and completed the first LEED Platinum Certification and three-star green factory project in China in 2012.
In the new BIPV ecology, CECEP Solar Energy Technology (ZhenJiang) Co., Ltd. also plays a flexible and changeable role. It can be either a simple module supplier or a provider of a complete set of solution. When the owner is unwilling to invest in the roof PV system, it can also make investments independently. It is both a partner and an end customer, which is an important reason why construction enterprises are willing to develop new products for this purpose.
More importantly, such a solution is very friendly to the owners. For them, what needs to be selected is only a roof. This "all-inclusive" model in the decoration industry may become the future of BIPV.
