When the building
is the array.
Conventional solar sits on top of a roof. PVBM replaces the roof, the carport or the balcony railing with something that generates — so the structure earns its keep instead of only carrying weight.
GoodWe's PV building materials division
PVBM is our Photovoltaic Building Materials division — the same company as the inverters on the rest of this site, aimed at a different problem: buildings whose roofs cannot take a conventional mounted array, and buildings where the solar has to look like architecture.

Three places a building can generate
Each family answers a different constraint — a roof that cannot carry the load of a mounted array, a car park that needs shade, or a home with a balcony but no roof of its own.
Roofs that generate
For industrial and commercial roofs where mounting a conventional array is either impossible or unwise.
- Galaxy Series — ultra-lightweight, for roofs that cannot take the load of a mounted system
Car parks that pay
Shade for the vehicles, generation for the building, on ground you have already paid for.
- Vela Series — residential driveways and porches
- Strix Series — commercial car parks
- Atlas Series — larger commercial and industrial spans
Outdoor structures
Residential structures that were going to be built anyway, generating while they do their original job.
- Solar balcony — balustrade and railing systems
The parts these are built from
The solution families above are assembled from a small set of named products. Full specifications sit on our PVBM site.
Galaxy
Ultra-lightweight frameless panel for commercial and industrial roofs that cannot take conventional glass-and-frame modules.
Carport
A driveway or car park turned into a generating roof — shade for the vehicles and power for the building.
Athena
All-in-one balcony solar and storage — stores daytime generation and keeps essentials running when the grid drops.

We built our own headquarters out of it
Our Smart Energy Building in Suzhou is the demonstration case for the whole PVBM idea — a working office block generating from its own envelope. It carries the building certifications below.
International green building certification.
Chinese ultra-low energy building standard.
Top tier of the Chinese green building rating.
Recognised as a national key project.
Building something new?
PVBM gets decided at design stage, not after the roof is on. If there is a project on the board — a factory, a car park, a house — leave a message below and an authorized EPC partner will tell you which of these actually fits.
