Project description

Why this project?
In order to achieve the climate protection targets and fulfil the resulting requirements for the energy transition, the use of photovoltaics (PV) must be sustainably increased. In order to achieve the climate targets in Germany, it is necessary to install 31 m2 of PV area per inhabitant. This compares with a potential of around 3,000 km2 of existing façade and roof surfaces (source: BVBS / FG BIPV). This potential is therefore not yet fully utilised, as the market for BIPV is still marginal. One reason for this is the complicated and costly technical approval procedures. The overall aim of the project is therefore to develop standardised test procedures and technical rules, as well as standardised solutions for integration. The focus is on in-roof constructions and curtain wall façades (vhF) as an alternative to external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS). Expected effects: significant contribution to the energy transition through improved utilisation of potential and strengthening of the domestic market due to increased demand through easier application.

The StaGiMo project is divided into 5 technical work packages and one coordinative work package. The technical work is distributed among the consortium partners and their subcontractors and associated partners. The consortium comprises the following partners and sub-projects: Berlin University of Applied Sciences (HTW Berlin) (StaGiMo_Sys); University of Siegen (U Siegen) (StaGiMo_Proof); Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sonnenenergie Landesverband Berlin Brandenburg e.V. (DGS) (StaGiMo_Practice); TÜV Rheinland Energy GmbH (TÜV): (StaGiMo_Method). The co-operation is transdisciplinary between the participating research partners. The HTW Berlin is responsible for coordinating and managing the various working groups.
