The long test experience from IEC tests
shows, that the overall product failure rate
is around 30 %.
Out of these 30 % about 50 % of the
failures happen in only three tests
(Thermal cycling test, Damp heat test
and Hot-spot endurance test).
When new materials, new
technologies or processes are used
pre-tests are recommended.

BIPV From Different European Perspectives Current Situation
� Different feed-in tariffs. Different definitions of BIPV.
� Building standards vary (glass, construction, reaction to fire,…)
� Demands from the authorities differ widely.
� Local/national market bars exist.
� Building construction differs (therefore no unified BIPV products available).
� Individual BIPV pre-standards already exist (NL, UK, FRA, GER).
� European directives (LVD, CPD�CPR) indicate the common technical directions: requirements are compehensive and complex.

BIPV From Different European Perspectives Current Situation
� BIPV (as a niche products) is not separetely adressed in any installation or electrical product standards, guidelines or laws which could serve as an European harmonized groundwork for a broader use.
� European standardization work in process (EN 50583).
� Standard will be a gathering of minimum requirements that can be harmonized.
� Still, national requirements will overrule and maintain additional requirements for BIPV (common process for construction or building sector)
22.10.2012 Die Rolle der Photovoltaik im Gebäude von Morgen, Paris 201313
BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaic)PV modules are considerd to be building-integrated, if the PV modules form a building component providing a function as defined in the European CPD 89/106/EEC.
The building‘s functions in the context of BIPV are one or more of the following:
� mechnical rigidity and structural integrity
� primary weather impact protection: rain, snow, wind, hail
� energy economy, such as shading, daylighting, thermal insulation
� fire protection
� noise protection
The BIPV module is a prerequisite for the integrity of the building‘s functionality. If the integrated PV module is dismounted (dismounting includes the adjacent building component), the PV module would have to be replaced by an appropriate building component.
Antenna function, power generation, electromagnetic shielding etc. are no BIPV-specific functions.

� Gurantee that run-off water, rain etc. will not penetrate through the roof
� Heat- and humidity transmission
� Fire safety
� Static evaluation, size and weight of the products
� Installation to subconstruction
� Corrosion protection
� Noise and heat protection
� Reliability and longivity.

- Mounting of the system: clamp distances, load resistance, remaining lift capacity.
- Introduction of laminated safety glass.
- Temperature behaviours with PV are different: overhead and facade installation need to be regarded with these crucial differences to regular (insulation) glass when tested.
- Fire and heat protection.

Common Technical Challenges for BIPVNoise protective properties
� Introduction of bifacial products offers additional architectural construction.
� Double function of noise protection wall as energy source
� Mechanical safety and fitness for use (high requirements from wind loads at bridges and tunnels)
� Resistivity against ageing and corrosion
� Stone impact resistance
� Fire safety (ignitability A oder B1 with EN 13501-1)
� De-icing salts
22.10.2012 Die Rolle der Photovoltaik im Gebäude von Morgen, Paris 201321
� Basic requirement out of the „EN 50583“ for modules with glass:
- EN 14449 – Glass in Building-Laminated Glass und Laminated Safety Glass und
- ISO 12543 – Glass in Building-Laminated Glass und Laminated Safety Glass und
- EN 12600, Glass in building –Pendulum test – Impact test method and classification for flat glass
� Advantages for overhead-glazing!

Test set-up to
IEC 61730-2 / UL 790
� In IEC 61730-2 points at a US-test for roofing materials (ANSI/UL 790).
� For buildings in general: no fire burn through under a certain time and impact when an external fire exists or burning brands are released.
� The European standard ENV 1187:2005 (for roof applications) lists four standards. There is no harmonized standard, yet. Not all methods are accepted in all countries.

� The test sequences differentiate: source of ignition, inclination and general application (test duration, radiant sources, wind velocities)

Common Technical Challenges for BIPVTest methods differentiate (for ENV 1187, UL 790)
� Determination of noise protection barrier and absorption
� Static impacts through wind loads
� Snow load influences from impacts under inclination
� Determination of U- and G-values
� Reflexionparameters (light immission)

Outlook: Relevant Needs For A European BIPV MarketStimulation of BIPV Markets
- European standardization work for BIPV needs to define the minimum, relevant and basic criteria which a product has to fufill. National adaptions and additions to harmonized requirements will always stay.
- Common IEC-certification covers BIPV-products, but also the building specific and mutual reaction from materials in the interplay with building components need to be regarded. An adapted certification could consequently cover these needs.
- A certification needs to point out that the minimum requirements (based on European CPR and CPD with LVD) are fulfilled. Relevant: Addition of building-specific aspects to complement electro-technical requirements.
- Certification can declare that BIPV products cover these requirements: transparency to end-consumer.
- If an appropriate and accepted certification-scheme for BIPV can help to solve the diffuse situation of various standards, requirements and technical positions, consequently a BIPV market will be stimulated.
