Photovoltaics in buildings - Part 1: BIPV modules

This document applies to photovoltaic modules used as construction products. It focuses on the properties of these photovoltaic modules relevant to essential building requirements as specified in the European Construction Product Regulation CPR 305/2011, and the applicable electro-technical requirements as stated in the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC / or CENELEC standards. This document references international standards, technical reports and guidelines. For some applications in addition national standards (or regulations) for building products may apply in individual countries, which are not explicitly referenced here and for which harmonized European Standards are not yet available. The document is addressed to manufacturers, planners, system designers, installers, testing institutes and building authorities. This document does not apply to concentrating or building-attached photovoltaic modules. This document addresses requirements on the PV modules in the specific ways they are intended to be mounted but not the mounting structure itself, which is within the scope of FprEN 50583- 2.

Photovoltaik im Bauwesen - Teil 1: BIPV-Module

Eléments photovoltaïques dans la construction - Partie 1: Modules photovoltaïques incorporés au bâtiment

Le présent document s'applique aux modules photovoltaïques utilisés comme produits de construction. Il cible les propriétés des modules photovoltaïques se rapportant aux exigences de construction essentielles spécifiées dans le Règlement européen sur les produits de construction (CPR 305/2011), et les exigences électrotechniques applicables indiquées dans la Directive Basse tension 2006/95/CE / ou les normes CENELEC. Le présent document référence des normes internationales, des rapports techniques et des directives. Pour certaines applications, d'autres normes (ou règlementations) nationales pour les produits de construction peuvent s'appliquer dans certains pays, qui ne sont pas référencées de manière explicite dans la présente norme et pour lesquelles il n'existe pas encore de normes européennes harmonisées. Le document est destiné aux fabricants, planificateurs, concepteurs de systèmes, installateurs, laboratoires d'essai et autorités compétentes dans le domaine de la construction. Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux modules photovoltaïques à concentration ou attenant à un bâtiment 1). Le présent document traite des exigences concernant les modules photovoltaïques (PV) qui portent sur les méthodes spécifiques selon lesquelles ces modules sont destinés à être montés, mais ne traite pas de la structure de montage elle-même, qui relève du domaine d'application du prEN 50583-2.

Fotonapetostni elementi v stavbah - 1. del: Moduli, vgrajeni v konstrukcijo (BIPV)

Ta dokument velja za fotovoltaične module, ki se uporabljajo kot gradbeni proizvodi. Osredotoča se na tiste lastnosti takšnih fotovoltaičnih modulov, ki zadevajo bistvene gradbene zahteve, kot so določene v Uredbi (EU) št. 305/2011 (Uredba o gradbenih proizvodih), ter veljavne elektro-tehnične zahteve, kot so določene v nizkonapetostni Direktivi 2006/95/ES ali standardih CENELEC. Ta dokument se sklicuje na mednarodne standarde, tehnična poročila in smernice. Za nekatere uporabe gradbenih proizvodov lahko v posameznih državah dodatno veljajo državni standardi (ali predpisi), ki v tem dokumentu niso izrecno navedeni in za katere še niso na voljo usklajeni evropski standardi. Dokument je namenjen proizvajalcem, načrtovalcem, oblikovalcem sistemov, montažerjem, inštitutom za preskušanje in pristojnim organom na področju gradbeništva.
Ta dokument ne velja za koncentrirane fotovoltaične module ali fotovoltaične module, pritrjene na stavbe. 1 Ta dokument obravnava zahteve za fotovoltaične module glede na načine, na katere se pritrjujejo, vendar ne glede na dejansko strukturo za njihovo pritrditev, ki spada v obseg standarda EN 50583-2.

3.1
Building-Integrated Photovoltaic modules
BIPV modules
photovoltaic modules are considered to be building-integrated, if the PV modules form a construction product
providing a function as defined in the European Construction Product Regulation CPR 305/2011. Thus the
BIPV module is a prerequisite for the integrity of the building’s functionality. If the integrated PV module is
dismounted (in the case of structurally bonded modules, dismounting includes the adjacent construction
product), the PV module would have to be replaced by an appropriate construction product.
