About Us

BIPVco is a pioneering UK manufacturer of building integrated photovoltaic roofing solutions for the commercial, industrial and residential sectors.

Our Story

BIPVco was established in 2015 following five years of collaborative research between Tata Steel LCRI (Low Carbon Research Institute) and Swansea University with support from the Welsh Government.

The research program developed ways of directly integrating thin-film CIGS PV cells onto the same substrates that make roofs and walls so that proper BIPV functionality would become integral to the building envelope and could be achieved without heavy on-site mounting systems

A British Manufacturer with a Global Vision and a Brighter Future

BIPVco is now an independent company with global investors and strong alliances with multinational OEM manufacturers across the supply chain.

Manufactured in the UK, our products are suitable for all environments and can be found on developments in varying climates worldwide, including Nigeria, Canada, UAE and the Europe. Read our case studies.
