COURSE | SOLARCHITECTURE - Essentials (Amsterdam, the Netherlands)
In recent years, a new energy strategy has created the opportunity to consider solar as a renewable source of decentralised production in the facades and other accessory elements of the envelope active.
The construction of building with integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) poses hybrid challenges between the construction and electrotechnical sectors, which are still often fragmented in their respective disciplinary and professional fields.
Objectives
- Build expertise in solar-integrated architecture through immersive case studies and hands-on learning. Starting on Day 1, you’ll dive into solar technology fundamentals, the integration in architecture, design and modelling, quality and product certifications and cost-effectiveness, laying a strong foundation in both theory and application.
- Develop interdisciplinary skills through an integrated approach that bridges Architecture and Solar Technology. On Day 2, an experiential tour of case study buildings will allow you to see solar architecture in action and engage directly with architects, constructors and other project stakeholders.
- Throughout the course, you’ll establish a network with industry experts and peers, creating valuable connections that extend beyond the program. This network will support your ongoing participation in events, conferences and contests in the Solar Architecture sector, ensuring continued professional growth and access to future opportunities.

Description
The MASS-IPV project (massipv.eu) aims to foster stronger structural collaborations between the PV and construction sectors by bridging knowledge gaps and promoting best practices in solar architecture. Through targeted training activities, the project will establish industry and professional networks, knowledge-sharing modules, and training programs, enabling architecture professionals to integrate PV technologies effectively into building design. A key focus on regional challenges will be ensured thanks to the involvement of local partners, ensuring relevance and impact for participants.
The MASS-IPV project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101135299
