6. BUSINESS IDEA
6
• The energy has become the "lifeblood" of our society and our way of life, then the energy issue presents
strong evidence in support of alternative sources and energy autonomy
• The construction elements with photovoltaic function are essential components for the architecture that
requires the use of materials of construction which incorporate in just one product renewable energy
production, energy savings and aesthetic value
• Through a specialized technical office and in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano and SUPSI
University of Lugano, EnergyGlass supports Architects & Builders in designing solutions for the production
of renewable energy through the use of architectural components

Business
Model
developed
by
EnergyGlass
is
completely
dedicated
to
design
and
produce

8. 8
• Consolidate the presence of EnergyGlass on National and mainly on
International market to catch the great opportunities of BIPV projects
• Make a NETWORK of COMPANIES to offer BiPV solutions and services for
both the National and International market
STRATEGY
• Design, based on the experience assimilated in
6 years of business and more than 300 BiPV
projects made, a model of integrated installation
with the process of planning to realize
photovoltaic architectural elements in large-
scale such as photovoltaic structural glass and
ceramic for outdoors.

9. BIPV vs BAPV
9
• BIPV systems replace building
elements instead of being applied over
other elements.
• Their multifunctional properties permit
to save money.
• In PV glasses the photovoltaic materials
are laminated between two tempered
glasses.
• BIPV systems are custom made on
Designer needs who can decides size,
power, transparency, colours and design.

• PV Glass have to be compared with other
buildings element used for façade, coverings,
overhead glazing, etc. like stone, iron, glass, etc
• These building elements have a unique
covering’s function, they don’t produce energy
and don’t allow to monitor the natural light to
illuminate the interior but hey play an important
role on energy saving.
• The BiPV elements connect in a single product
all the features:
- Building envelope
- Production of Renewable Energy
- Energy Saving
11. BIPV SOLUTIONS
ADVANTAGES

Photovoltaic components “custom made”:
• Configurable elements to identify the
best solutions fort BIPV.
• Saving of the building elements that are
included in PV Glass/Ceramic and high
durability in the course of time (materials
for buildings).
• Energy Production close to the energy
demand.
• Aesthetical value of the glass in
buildings:
- glass / ceramic colored
- frosted glass
- silk-screen printed glass
• Quality and Warranty
12. THE MARKET
12
EnergyGlassTM
2015
All
rights
reserved
The Sector of Integrated Photovoltaics is receiving a
strong impulse thanks to several factors:
• Growing perception of the need to reduce the
reliance on sources most polluting for energy
production
• Growing awareness of the need for European
c o u n t r i e s t o h a v e g r e a t e r e n e r g y
independence and reducing dependence on
foreign energy suppliers politically unstable
• Implement of economic policies of incentives
and support to the sector through preferential
treatment that aim to create the conditions so
the supply and demand will meet and will be
possible to create a competitive market with
lower prices, which have become the greatest
barrier to the development
13. BIPV MARKET ANALYSIS

EnergyGlassTM
2015
All
rights

• The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects a
significant growth of solar energy compared to other
sources of energy at least until 2018.
• The current market of Photovoltaics has an estimated
value of 2000 MW and an annual growth rate of 56% to
reach a capacity of 18,500 MW in 2018.
• The BIPV is today a small niche in the overall PV
market but is expected strong growth of BIPV higher than
that of traditional PV.
• According to the report by Pike Research the BiPV will
grow from 400 MW in 2012 to 2,500 MW in 2017. Also
the annual value of BIPV will quadruple in the next five
years going from 470 Mil € 2012 to € 1850 Mil in 2017.
• The BIPV products in order of importance and
distribution will be the glass, tiles and flexible modules.

INTERNATIONALIZATION
• Given the innovative characterization of the products covered by
EnergyGlass it is considered strategic to turn to international
markets with greater receptivity
• The development of emerging countries is taking place using
cutting-edge technologies and architectural products in Europe
• The Middle Eastern countries, for an example, have climatic
characteristics that require the coexistence of multiple
technologies in the building envelope
• The economic and financial dynamics of the foreign countries are
better than the national ones
16. PHOTOVOLTAIC GLASS

The PV in safety and security glass, are the
ideal solution for architectonical integration
needs when glass becomes a building
element, hardly reducing the aesthetical
and functional compromises needs.
Customisation in the way of measures,
shapes, power, transparency, and design,
allows an harmonious and exclusive
integration in buildings.
