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.

The business unit

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.

Solutions

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.

Rooftop

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
Carport

Car parks that pay

Shade for the vehicles, generation for the building, on ground you have already paid for.

Garden

Outdoor structures

Residential structures that were going to be built anyway, generating while they do their original job.

Proof of concept

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.

LEED Gold

International green building certification.

Ultra-low energy consumption

Chinese ultra-low energy building standard.

Green Construction, three star

Top tier of the Chinese green building rating.

14th Five-Year Plan key project

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.
