Fig. 11.8 27.7 kW BIPV system fully-integrated in the roof of a historical building from 1880
in the old city of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The building is home to the city associations (Hôtel des
Associations), a foundation belonging to the municipality of Neuchatel, and it belongs to the Federal
inventory of building sites of national relevance in Switzerland. Credits: SolarAgentur [9]
Business model: the electricity generated by PV plant is to a large extent
(>75%) self-consumed. The surplus is exported to the grid in a net metering
2
regime.
