This course presents a focused exploration of urban photovoltaics (PV) and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). It is designed for PV professionals aiming to bridge the gap between conventional photovoltaic systems and their urban counterparts, including BIPV and PV applications in infrastructure and buildings. Participants will explore the nuances between these fields to prepare for smooth implementation of similar projects.

Course Objectives:

• To compare and contrast photovoltaics in traditional settings with urban applications.
• To understand BIPV and its integration within the urban architectural fabric.
• To recognize the applications of PV in various infrastructures, including carports, art installations, and pavements.
• To identify and discuss the primary differences between standard PV and Urban PV installations.
• To categorize and delve into the main points of distinction, grouped into five key areas.

About the Lecturer: Dieter Moor, a luminary in the field of photovoltaics, spearheads this course. As the founder of arconsol, his academic background in Civil Engineering and Water Management was established at BOKU – University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna. His professional journey includes leadership roles as the European CEO at ClearVuePV in Perth, Australia, and CEO at ertex solar GmbH in Amstetten, Austria, as well as managing projects at oekostrom AG in Vienna.

Learners will benefit from Mr. Moor’s wealth of experience and his groundbreaking work in integrating photovoltaic technology within urban environments. The course is tailored for professionals who seek to deepen their expertise in the innovative use of PV in urban design and infrastructure, while understanding the critical differences that set Urban PV apart from conventional photovoltaic systems.
