[Engineering Journal Reporter Kim Ha-nee] The domestic and foreign construction industry is rapidly changing around two keywords: energy and environment. With the mandatory Zero Energy Building (ZEB) in earnest and global companies' participation in RE100 spreading, Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) technology, which can generate electricity by utilizing the outer shell of the building, is drawing attention in line with the demands of the times. As a solution that can secure both the aesthetics and eco-friendly value of architecture beyond simply generating electricity, BIPV is now becoming a new standard for buildings, and market growth is accelerating in line with the trend of expanding demand for remodeling and strengthening ESG management.

Recently, SKSE is attracting attention as a leading company in this trend. In particular, SKSE's technological competitiveness can be seen in the breadth and depth of product development. The BIPV that constitutes the outer shell of the building requires a long life and safety, and SKSE has secured durability by applying advanced materials such as POE, low temperature POE, and PVE to compensate for the limitations of fillers. In addition, by introducing high functional materials such as glass-only PVB and low-temperature bonding ribbon, it provides a long-life solution that fits the life cycle of the building.

It is also noteworthy that the company has developed a product line that satisfies both aesthetics and functionality, such as color glass, pattern glass, and art light design modules. The art light design module, which can implement an image on the outer wall of a building beyond simple color expression, helps greatly expand the degree of freedom in architectural design. In addition, SKSE's unique portfolio includes the steel-integrated G2S with fire resistance and modules with media display functions.

SKSE is also differentiated in terms of safety and maintenance efficiency. It minimizes the risk of fire and electric shock by having O&M technology that can detect abnormalities in individual modules in uninterrupted state and selectively block only strings with problems. In particular, due to the nature of BIPV installed on the outer walls of high-rise buildings, this technology is regarded as a technology that greatly increases management efficiency. In addition, it is responding to the segmented demand of the market by preparing a variety of applications such as lightweight half modules, soundproof wall integrated modules, and system technology that combines solar and structures.

Artlite Film, which has recently attracted attention in the construction market, can be said to be a representative example of SKSE's innovation. Existing color glass methods have limitations such as output degradation, durability problems, and color deviation, but film-type modules can implement images and minimize output deviations, greatly reducing the problem of mismatching between products. It has secured reliability by applying the cathode-ray tube TV coating method and can be applied immediately after the end, increasing efficiency of the production process.


"Artlite Film is a differentiated solution that can realize both production efficiency and design diversity at the same time, and it is gaining great popularity in the market where architectural design and energy efficiency must be considered together," said SKSE Yang, head of the institute.

SKSE is also making progress in implementing high-efficiency structures. Double-sided light-receiving and gap-less structures can improve power generation by around 20 percent compared to existing single-sided modules. This is a core technology that can maximize power generation efficiency in a limited outer space of a building as a result of minimizing space separation between solar cells or reducing space loss by deploying them in an overlapping manner. The efficiency improvement was clearly demonstrated in actual tests, and SKSE is showing strategies that are different from global competitors by implementing them in a way that optimizes them according to the characteristics of buildings.

Based on this strategy, SKSE is also moving rapidly in its business expansion strategy. The Indonesian Central Bank and the Singapore Sanofi project are evaluated as examples of providing customized solutions that reflect the local environment and regulatory requirements. SKSE is strengthening its global competitiveness by converging high-functioning glass and BIPV technology in cooperation with AGC and is expanding its position throughout Asia by preparing for a demonstration project with Vietnam's SHTP industrial complex. SKSE's overseas certification and demonstration project was also evaluated as enabling the provision of BIPV solutions suitable for local construction standards and regulations beyond simple exports.

In Korea, various cooperation is underway in cooperation with KCL solar center to verify fire resistance performance, collaborate with PIM (product information modeling), and establish overseas standards. In particular, technology verification is being strengthened to supply reliable products in line with the recently strengthened regulations on mandatory fire resistance performance of building materials. In response to the mandatory requirement of private zero-energy buildings, it is also participating in the task of developing solar louver and blind systems in collaboration with large construction companies such as Samsung C&T and verifying solutions that can be applied to actual building shells.

SKSE is also seeking to secure and protect overseas intellectual property rights through global demand linkage tasks and global IP star company programs. This is a strategic move that goes beyond simple technology development to strengthen global competitiveness based on intellectual property rights. In addition, it is expanding its response to not only public markets but also private and commercial markets by preparing next-generation products such as tilting double-layer solar louvers and translucent VisionStreet modules that can be applied to the Ministry of Vision.

"In the future, SKSE plans to strengthen domestic and international partnerships and expand the market in earnest based on public procurement registration and performance certification," Yang said. "We are establishing a system that can flexibly respond to the increase in global demand by expanding production plants and securing core technologies."

SKSE aims to leap from No. 1 in Korea to No. 1 global BIPV company, he said. "We will continue to present a new paradigm for the construction and energy industry through innovative technology development and localization strategies."
