The Eternal series solar panel roof tile and Royal series photovoltaic roof tiles of XROOF NEW Material belong to BIPV products. Why these two series of solar panel products are BIPV products, not BAPV?
Let me tell you what is differences between of BIPV and BAPV:

BIPV stands for Building Integration of Photovoltaics. It is a solar photovoltaic power generation system that is designed, constructed and installed at the same time with the building and is perfectly integrated with the building. It is also called "construction type" and "building material type" solar photovoltaic buildings. As a part of the external structure of the building, it not only has the function of power generation, but also has the function of building components and building materials, and can even enhance the beauty of the building, forming a perfect unity with the building.

BAPV refers to a solar photovoltaic power generation system attached to a building, also known as an "installed" solar photovoltaic building. Its main function is to generate electricity, which does not conflict with the function of the building, nor does it destroy or weaken the function of the original building.

Simply put, BIPV can be used as a replacement for roofs, skylights, building facades, etc. In my country, the industry usually calls BIPV "Photovoltaic Building" or "Photovoltaic Building Integration". BAPV is only a photovoltaic material attached to the building and does not assume the function of the building.

And our XROOF brand Eternal series solar panel roof tile and ROYAL series photovoltaic roof tile products are photovoltaic integrated resinroof tiles made of synthetic resin combined with photovoltaic power generation components, which not only have the function of tiles to shield the house from wind and rain but also have the function of photovoltaic power generation.
