ROOSENDAAL, July 8, 2024 – On June 28th, it was officially announced that a project team led by the Brabant-based Kameleon Solar will receive OPZuid funding to develop a comprehensive, integral approach for sustainable, safe, multicolored solar panels in facades. Last Thursday, the kick-off for the project ‘Circular Multicolor Facade PV Factory’ (‘Circulaire Multicolour Gevel PV-fabriek’) took place at Kameleon Solar’s office in Roosendaal. CEO Kevin Verpaalen is enthusiastic: “Scaling up solar panels in facades is an excellent way to accelerate the energy transition while simultaneously reducing grid congestion.”
The MASS-IPV project serves as a scale representation of the building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market landscape in Europe. The consortium comprises a diverse range of enterprises, from manufacturers and system providers to planning offices and software developers. Together, they tackle financial, regulatory, societal, environmental, and technical challenges in the industry. Through innovative strategies, methods, tools, and technologies developed within the project, they aim to guide EU companies in expanding their business in PV- related technologies and services. Aligned with the EU's climate targets, the project focuses on renovating buildings to improve energy efficiency and promote decarbonization. As part of these efforts, five construction projects across Europe will be undertaken to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of their state-of-the-art innovations.
The Topsector energie is the driving force behind innovations that are necessary for the transition to an affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy system. The missions for energy transition and sustainability determine the priorities of the Topsector energie.
The BIPV.world platform was partly created by the EnergyMatching Project. The project focuses on maximizing renewable energy sources in the built environment by developing and demonstrating cost-effective active facade solutions for buildings in combination with an optimized energy system that is connected to the local energy network.
