As the global net-zero trend intensifies, the demand for renewable energy becomes increasingly crucial. Thus, energy transition now becomes a nationwide concern. With low entry barriers and wide accessibility, solar photovoltaics have become the indispensable role in green energy. With years of experience in the solar energy industry, AUO is committed to creating affordable, reliable, and sustainable clean energy. During the 2023 Energy Taiwan held from October 18th to 20th at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, AUO will showcase building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) materials and innovative energy management solutions that feature smart management and digital transformation, providing new urban appearances in creating sustainable net-zero cities.

 

Low-Carbon Buildings becomes the Main Driving Force of Net-zero Emissions
In response to the announcement of the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ target of reaching 20% renewable energy generation by 2026, and the vision of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, solar energy is now at the forefront of energy trends. In the future, for new constructions, extensions, and alterations of buildings, the installation of power generation equipment on urban rooftops will become a crucial pathway. “AUO has a strong presence in the energy industry and can provide intelligent and sustainable solutions for smart manufacturing, net zero carbon emissions, and green energy,” stated TY Lin, General Manager of AUO Energy Business Group. “We are actively developing the green energy building sector, seamlessly integrating solar energy applications with building structures to achieve the goal of energy self-sufficiency for buildings, positioning them as a powerful pillar for sustainable development in the era of carbon neutrality.”

Aligning with global trends toward carbon-neutral buildings, AUO creates the BIPV solution based on the company’s abundant experience in power plant construction. Starting from the beginning of the building designing phase, actively developing SunSteel integrated photovoltaic corrugated roofing sheets, differing from the complex methods involving traditional photovoltaic mounts, it enables swift installation, avoids secondary construction, reduces the overall weight of the photovoltaic systems on building structures, and further contributing to carbon footprint reduction, achieving thermal insulation, waterproofing, green energy supply, and urban aesthetics on building rooftops.SunSteel has received dual certifications for module performance and safety standards from the renowned international testing and accreditation body, TÜV Rheinland, propelling rooftop solar
