Avancis and Sunpartner in BIPV deal

摘要

German PV module manufacturer Avancis has signed a strategic partnership with French solar tech company Sunpartner Technologies to incorporate its CIGS thin-film PV cells into Sunpartner's energy generating glass. Although building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) has not grown at the sharp trajectory that it was expected to, there are still plenty of companies making inroads into the market. Avancis is one of the company's holding the torch for the BIPV industry, and a new strategic partnership with French solar tech company Sunpartner Technologies could be a key to greater market exposure.
