SUPSI and MC2.0 present the contest “Solar Design for Public
Co-working Spaces”. This contest highlights the crucial interplay between solar energy and buildings in creating multifunctional solar architectures to redefine the use of solar energy as a building and design material.

Solar design contest

For the contest “Solar Design for Public Co-working Spaces”, participants were asked to design a temporary co-working space in which a flexible and lightweight photovoltaic film is integrated into one or more technological systems such as shading systems, facades, roofs, street furnishing elements, etc.
This pavilion collects the 3 best projects of this contest and showcases the Mass Customization 2.0 technology.

Mass Customization 2.0

Mass Customization (MC2.0) is a new Photovoltaic manufacturing concept based on cleverly designed semi-fabricates, that will demonstrate how automated manufacturing of Integrated PV (IPV) elements using the mass customization approach can deliver a cost breakthrough in the IPV in the building sector.

About SUPSI and Mass Customization 2.0

The SUPSI BIPV team's objective is to promote the market implementation of integrated photovoltaic systems, favouring their sustainable use, in compliance with regulations and the most advanced quality criteria.
Mass Customization (MC2.0) is a European Horizon2020 project. The consortium brings together experts and companies on materials for PV laminates, on manufacturing of PV laminates, on manufacturing of IPV products and on market and application of IPV products.
