Solar Facades &
Building-Integrated Photovoltaics

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) are more than just solar panels; they are multifunctional construction materials that generate electricity while serving as the structural skin of a building. Unlike traditional panels, BIPV materials seamlessly replace conventional building elements like facades, windows, skylights, and roofing tiles.

This innovative approach allows architects and builders to create stunning, energy-efficient buildings that are both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible. With BIPV, your building doesn't just consume energy—it produces it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about BIPV solutions in Hyderabad.

What is BIPV and how is it different from rooftop solar panels?
BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) means solar cells are built INTO the building structure, replacing conventional materials like facades, windows, or skylights. Unlike rooftop panels mounted on top of a structure, BIPV becomes part of the building skin itself — serving both architectural and energy generation functions simultaneously.
How much does BIPV installation cost in Hyderabad?
BIPV systems are priced per square meter: solar glass ₹8,000–₹15,000/sqm, solar facade cladding ₹12,000–₹25,000/sqm, solar roof tiles ₹6,000–₹12,000/sqm. While premium-priced vs standard panels, BIPV replaces conventional building materials — making the net premium much smaller than it appears.
Is BIPV eligible for government subsidies in India?
Yes — BIPV systems generating solar power are eligible for net metering benefits and 12% GST concessions. Residential BIPV may qualify for the PM Surya Ghar Yojana subsidy (up to ₹78,000). Commercial BIPV projects may qualify for accelerated depreciation. Solar Cubic advises on all incentives during consultation.
Can BIPV be integrated into an existing building in Hyderabad?
Yes — while BIPV is most cost-effective in new construction, it can be retrofitted to existing buildings as a facade cladding system, canopy, or skylight replacement. Solar Cubic conducts a detailed architectural assessment before recommending retrofit BIPV solutions.
What types of BIPV products does Solar Cubic install?
We install four main BIPV product types: (1) Solar facades — panels replacing exterior cladding, (2) Solar skylights — semi-transparent glass for atria and courtyards, (3) Photovoltaic glass — transparent solar windows, (4) Solar shingles — solar roof tiles replacing conventional roofing material.
How does BIPV perform in Hyderabad's climate?
Hyderabad's climate is highly favourable for BIPV — with 300+ sunny days per year and 5.5–6 peak sun hours daily. Solar Cubic specifies high-efficiency mono-PERC or HJT cells that lose minimal performance at high temperatures, all carrying at least 25-year performance warranties.
