Lysande, Sweden

26 kWp will be installed on one multi-family house in the same area as Holmen/Grynnan. In this project PV modules will be integrated in a freestanding sunshade in front of the south faqade and on the roof. From the very beginning the architecturally constraints were finding an application where the PV modules will be heavily exposed. A real-estate company, renting out the apartments, will own the building.

3.3 Ekoviikki, Finland

24 kWp are installed on one multi-family house in a new residential area close to Helsinki city centre. Special considerations have been given to ecological and sustainable planning principles. The PV modules are installed in the balcony balustrades acting as shading devices. In addition to this double function feature, an IT-approach has been taken for the management of the system.

3.4 NCC Head office, Finland

15 kWp will be installed on the roof and partly integrated in the windows of the new NCC head office building in Helsinki. The modules will face east and south. The project will demonstrate how PV can be incorporated into a modern high-class office building fulfilling the aesthetic demands. This building will give experiences about PV installations and effectiveness of modules at such high latitudes as Helsinki.
