Description

In Moers (nearby Duisburg in Germany) Riedel Recycling, an industry of preparation and storage of building materials, has installed a record thin film PV plant on an old building previously used for coal processing: more than 11 thousand modules in Cadmiun Telluride (CdTe), manufactured by american industry First Solar, with a peak capacity of 837 kWp, have allowed to this installation to become the widest in Germany adopting thin film on a pitched roof of 9.500 square meters.

Analysis

SOLAR ARCHITECTURE

Energy and architectural concept – Energy optimized
– Maximum power		 – Partially adapted to building skin
– Roof		 – Partially adapted to building skin
– Facade		 – Total building skin
Energy and architectural language – Evident emphasized PV – Low recognizable PV – Hidden PV Mimicry

SOLAR AND BUILDING SKIN

Standardization vs customization – Standard PV components – Low customized components – Highly customized components
Building skin technology – Roof added system – Facade added system – Roof integrated system – Facade integrated system

SOLAR AND BUILDING ENERGY CONCEPT

Solar and building energy efficiency – No special energy target – Standard energy target – (state of art, normative) – High energy efficiency – (Passive-house, n-ZEB, PEB)
New building or refurbishment – New building – Refurbishment (ordinary building)

SOLAR AND URBAN CONTEXT

Solar and urban density – Low-density building – Medium-density urban context – High-density urban context
