System detail

Assembled and exploded views

Assembled view

The CONIPHER panel is composed of:

an ultra-high performance Smart-UP fiber-reinforced concrete plate, with a lifespan of over 100 years
a 200mm EcoRock Duo rock wool insulation block (Rockwool) ensuring thermal resistance to the system of 5 m2.K/W
a ventilated bifacial photovoltaic panel allowing an increase in electricity production by 15%
a fixing system to meet the mechanical requirements defined by the CSTB (earthquakes, shocks, wind), thermal (reduction of thermal bridges) and the objectives of rapid installation of the various components during the factory assembly phases and fixing on site

Concept validation on FACT

Chronoanalysis and energy monitoring

Proof of concept

The installation of 8 CONIPHER panels (6 m2) on a facade instrumented with the FACT tool made it possible to validate the manufacturing, integration and installation concepts . Thermal monitoring showed a 92% reduction in heating thanks to a thermal resistance of the facade close to 5 m2.K/W. Electrical monitoring showed higher winter production than the integration of photovoltaic panels on the roof, and a 15% gain in output thanks to bi-facial technology.
