Researchers demonstrate technical feasibility of retrofitting PV-driven heat pumps in multi-family buildings A research group led by Germany’s Fraunhofer ISE has conducted what it describes as the first empirical study on PV-assisted two-stage HP systems in existing multi-family buildings. Its findings show that substantial PV electricity exports result in greater avoided non-renewable primary energy use.

360 degrees capture Sphelar: The idea behind Josuke Nakata’s spherical cells was to capture light from all directions, thus optimizing the potential of a solar cell. Sphelar has developed over the years, reaching higher efficiencies and varied application potentials; and now, mass production interest is starting to emerge. Nevertheless, can the niche product really survive the market demands?

Custom standardization: unlocking BIPV The creativity of architects and the need to standardize BIPV products to bring costs down may appear mutually exclusive. In reality, they are the concurrent needs of both the construction and solar sectors and must be considered for the promise of “PV everywhere” to become a reality in our built environment. Work is underway to bridge this gap and the initial results are building in innovation.
