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
