New regulations are coming! BIPV welcomes new opportunities under the "Residential Project Specifications"

On March 13, 2025, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced the "Residential Project Specifications" (GB 55038-2025) This was clarified as a mandatory engineering construction standard, to be implemented from May 1st. This new regulation not only sets new standards for residential construction but also marks a key step in China's construction industry's transition to green and low-carbon development!

Three "hard indicators" for residential photovoltaic installations under the new specifications

The "Residential Project Specifications" puts forward clear requirements for photovoltaic installations in newly built residential buildings: When newly built residential buildings use photovoltaic systems, unified planning, simultaneous design, and simultaneous construction should be adopted, and the setting of the photovoltaic system should comply with the following regulations

1. It should be firmly connected to the main building structure;

2. Waterproof, sealing, and drainage construction measures should be adopted;

3. It should not damage the waterproof layer and ancillary facilities of the residential building.

BIPV: Perfectly matches the new specifications

BIPV deeply integrates photovoltaic technology with building roof structures, becoming a type of photoelectric building material that combines functionality and aesthetics . BIPV not only provides clean electricity for buildings but also perfectly meets the requirements of the new specifications through the following advantages:

Integrated design : BIPV can be designed and constructed simultaneously with the building. 昇瓦 can be integrated into the design drawings at the initial stage of building design; during the construction phase, it is directly applied to the building's roof structure, avoiding the complexity and lack of coordination of installing photovoltaic systems after building completion.

Architectural aesthetics : The appearance of BIPV is designed with reference to building materials and can be perfectly integrated into the building design. It not only does not affect the aesthetics of the building but also allows for customized color schemes for the building roof.

Double waterproof insurance : BIPV has waterproof properties and does not require drilling holes on the roof during installation, thus avoiding damage to the original waterproof layer of the building. At the same time, it has built-in dual drainage channels to efficiently drain rainwater in rainy days, ensuring roof safety.

With the implementation of the "Residential Project Specifications," the residential building industry has ushered in new opportunities for green development. BIPV, with its integrated design, architectural aesthetics and waterproof drainage advantages, has become the ideal choice for photovoltaic applications in newly built residential buildings. In the future, BIPV will bring safer, greener, and smarter living experiences to more residential projects.
