Increasingly, this growing need is being met by renewable energy sources. One of the most promising innovations in this field are bifacial solar cells integrated into photovoltaic (PV) panels. These panels generate more energy, are more cost-efficient, and can even be custom-produced. Moreover, they open the door to a wide range of new applications, particularly in architecture and urban infrastructure. The Belgian textile industry plays a surprising but crucial role in this development.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81dad16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"81dad16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Innovative collaboration between industry and imec<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9afd8e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9afd8e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Building-integrated PV solutions (BIPV) do not mount solar panels <em>on<\/em> buildings, but rather integrate them directly into the structure: think of facades, windows, and even bridges.
