Industrial and commercial photovoltaic solar shade | A green solution that combines aesthetics and practicality

With the gradual promotion of the "green concept", energy-saving and consumption-reducing production methods have gradually gained popularity.

Solar photovoltaic power generation, as an important part of the new energy field, is experiencing a golden period.

Traditional photovoltaic technology has developed for nearly 10 years and has relatively high technical levels and market acceptance; however, it still falls short in terms of waterproof performance and aesthetic appeal. 

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is emerging as a new energy solution, gradually gaining popularity among the public.

While emphasizing the high integration of photovoltaics with buildings, it also takes into account performance requirements such as waterproofing, fire resistance, wind resistance, and aesthetics. Industrial and commercial photovoltaic solar sheds, as a form of integrating photovoltaic power generation systems into buildings, are becoming a new choice for many enterprises and bringing new opportunities to the photovoltaic industry.

I. Application Scenarios of Industrial and Commercial Photovoltaic Solar Sheds

Industrial and commercial photovoltaic solar sheds refer to fully integrating photovoltaic power generation systems in the form of BIPV (building-integrated photovoltaics) into buildings to generate electricity.

This form not only leaves more space while retaining the practical functions of traditional solar sheds, but also enables self-generation and self-consumption of electricity as well as grid-connected surplus power generation.

It is environmentally friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and highly functional, truly achieving green and energy-efficient goals.

Currently, the application scenarios of industrial and commercial photovoltaic solar sheds are diverse.

Whether it is commercial buildings, industrial parks, or industrial plant roofs, as long as the lighting conditions are good and there is sufficient installation space, industrial and commercial photovoltaic solar sheds can be installed.

At the same time, the appearance can be customized according to the individualized needs of the owners to meet multiple requirements.

II. Market Analysis of Industrial and Commercial Photovoltaic Solar Sheds 

With the increasing global demand for renewable energy and the support from countries for the new energy industry, the market for industrial and commercial photovoltaic solar sheds is expanding rapidly.

At the same time, with the continuous advancement of technology, industrial and commercial photovoltaic solar sheds are being applied in more fields. 

After calculation, based on the installation ratio of 30% for industrial, commercial and office building rooftops, and 50% for public building rooftops, the remaining installation space for rooftop photovoltaic systems on existing industrial and commercial flat roofs is approximately 262.74 GW.

If the penetration rate of solar shade structures reaches 10%, the installed capacity of rooftop photovoltaic systems on industrial and commercial rooftops will reach 26.3 GW.

If the penetration rate reaches 30%, the installed space will reach 78.9 GW.
