Virgin Island

A brief insight into the Virgin Island’s solar market

Nearly a decade ago, the US Virgin Islands embarked on a mission to cut down its dependence on fossil fuels. Working with American federal agencies, the Island’s administration began implementing a strategy aimed at exploiting its renewable energy potential. Several years down the line, the Virgin Islands territory has made huge strides towards a clean energy economy.

Currently, the US territory boasts of a large-scale installed solar capacity of 8 Megawatts. This is an incredible achievement considering that solar energy utilization was nonexistent a decade ago. Still, the Island is yet to explore its full solar potential. The administration of the Virgin Islands is working in conjunction with the private sector to clear the way for more solar exploitation.

I do not doubt that Virgin Island’s solar market will continue to grow steadily. What does this growth mean for solar installers and other professionals interested in this nascent solar market? Well, generally, progressive market growth translates to lucrative opportunities for anyone willing to go the extra mile.

The Virgin Island’s solar equipment production and supply capacity

The US Virgin Islands enjoys a substantial presence of solar equipment  suppliers. Some of their equipment includes solar panels, batteries, and inverters, to name a few. Are you searching for a dependable solar equipment supplier?

The Solarfeeds family has got you covered. We offer access to some of the world’s leading equipment suppliers. Save your time by requesting quotes via our inquiry page.

Ports and logistics in the Virgin Island’s

There are 14 major seaports in the US Virgin Islands that allow the movement of equipment to and from various overseas markets. The Island also boasts of advanced road infrastructure and top-notch logistics services. In essence, you have everything you need to complete any project that may come your way successfully.

What is a Building Integrated Photovoltaic or a BIPV?

Building Integrated Photovoltaics serves more than one purpose. BIPVs produce electricity by the piezoelectric effect and serve as protection for any structure. 

BIPVs are installed to provide shed, block sunlight, and give a modern look to any building, all this while producing electricity from sunlight.

Where is a BIPV used?

A BIPV is integrated into a structure like conventional buildings. BIPVs replace glass windows with Solar windows, parking shed rooftops with solar roofs and solar shades in place of translucent covers. All these changes make the look of any structure modern while being extremely useful.

Types of Building Integrated Photovoltaics

Solar panels are silicon-based photovoltaic cells that produce electricity from sunlight. With micro adjustments according to the application, these cells transform into BIPVs. Based on various applications, there are broadly four types of BIPVs.

 

Four types of BIPV products

  • Solar-Facades: Solar Facades’ integration in building structures keeps the noise and air pollution out and gives any building a visual identity. This all while producing green energy.
  • Solar-Window: Solar windows find their application both in residential and commercial properties. These windows look like any other windows but with solar modules.
  • Solar-Roofs: Solar roofs like that of Tesla Energy in the USA are becoming popular. In conventional rooftops, these solar tiles replace asphalt tiles. Every tile acts as an individual cell and connects in series to generate electricity.
  • PV-Sunshades: Parking lot sheds are the best example of PV-Sunshades. Additionally, these shades protect buildings from direct sunlight.

How does a BIPV work?

BIPVs use opaque or transparent solar cells connected in series to each other to give a substantial amount of current output. These photovoltaics are located in the portion of the building exposed to the sun the most.

What are big manufacturing brands of BIPVs?

Tesla Energy is one major brand in the USA backed by Elon Musk. They manufacture solar cell tiles for residential rooftops. Customers get a variety of tiles according to the required strength and size.
