The building incorporates three renewable energy systems: BIPV, solar thermal, and geothermal heat pumps, achieving a renewable energy utilization rate of 34.41%. Annually, it saves 850 MWh of electricity, reduces coal consumption by 259.25 tons, and lowers CO2 emissions by 493.85 tons—equivalent to planting 4,449 fir trees, which absorb 111 kg of CO2 each year, enough to power 236 families of three. The Building has received the Active Excellent Award, Third Prize in the Design Scheme category.
Build Smart, Live Green: A More Dynamic Environment to Colloborate
To foster a greener and more dynamic work environment, GoodWe integrated active energy-saving technologies with passive building strategies from the outset of the Smart Energy Building’s design. Central to this effort, GoodWe's BIPV products play a crucial role. By transforming traditional architectural elements—such as roofs, skylights, carports, and shading devices—into energy-generating structures, GoodWe has successfully merged architecture with sustainability.
Covering 6,570.858 m² of solar area, GoodWe BIPV products boast a 698 kW capacity and an annual output of 496.5 MWh. The entire building achieves a
renewable energy utilization rate of 34.41%. Annually, it saves 850 MWh of electricity, enough to power an 8,500-square-meter office building for a year.
l 244kW Stellar-V & Stellar-L Facade Systems: These systems provide sun shading and energy generation, reducing cooling demand while enhancing safety. The Stellar Series integrates photovoltaic cells into architectural shading products, revolutionizing energy and light management. Available in various designs, they ensure comfort and offer customizable solutions while featuring high fire resistance and static load-bearing capabilities.
l 82kW Integrated Solar Carports: Equipped with Polaris waterproof solar panels, these carports deliver efficient energy solutions. Their modular design allows for easy installation and future expansions, making them ideal for residential and commercial use.
l 131kW CdTe Solar Panels in Double-Glazed Curtain Walls: These panels enhance energy production and aesthetic appeal, allowing for natural lighting while ensuring ventilation and heat dissipation.
l 236kW Starlux Sunroom and Ramp Entrance: Utilizing patented technology, this roof balances natural daylighting with energy generation and leak protection, enhancing overall energy performance.
l 4.6kW Sunshine Solar Roof Tiles: This series replaces traditional solar panels on pitched rooftops, maximizing energy production while improving ventilation. With Class-A fire resistance, they ensure safety and durability for low-carbon homes.
Simply installing BIPV products is not enough. Based on these products, the building adopts an integrated high-efficiency energy solution combining solar, storage, charging, heat pump and water recycling technology, simplifying the energy operation system. The building’s on-grid system utilizes GoodWe inverters for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, such as the DNS, MT, SMT, SDT, and GT series, covering various power ranges and supplying real-time energy generated by
the PV building materials directly to the building. Additionally, the 125kW/261kWh GoodWe energy storage cabinet powers 120 GoodWe AC chargers, enabling integrated management of PV generation, energy storage, and charging systems.
Aim Future: Solarise Every Building, Redefine Its Role
During the entire lifecycle of the GoodWe Smart Energy Building project, natural ventilation, daylighting, natural rainwater, and natural thermal energy have been fully considered. Adaptive designs, such as a high green space ratio, building shading, and insulation, create favorable conditions for energy efficiency. Therefore, GoodWe aims to develop the project into a healthy, comfortable, and livable environment that incorporates smart energy solutions, making it a replicable and scalable low-carbon building suitable for all regions.
The success of the GoodWe Smart Energy Building marks the beginning of a foreseeable, actionable future, one that society is beginning to embrace. Historically, buildings have simply served as shelters, providing protection from the elements. However, with the rapid advancement of BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) technology and the widespread adoption of integrated solar, storage, and charging solutions, buildings are poised to take on a new role—one that redefines their purpose. In the near future, buildings will evolve from passive energy consumers to active producers and consumers of renewable energy, transforming into power stations in their own right. This shift will allow them to play a pivotal role in the emerging, efficient, and decentralized energy systems of tomorrow, contributing to both power generation and energy trading.
To shape and perpetuate this future, GoodWe is fully prepared.
