Webinar— Building-integrated photovoltaics: Producing electricity through the building envelope 

November 13, 2024, 1 to 2 p.m. ET 
Webinar presented by Natural Resources Canada

Explore the cutting-edge world of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) in their upcoming webinar, hosted by industry experts Véronique Delisle and Erin Gaucher-Loksts.  

Learn how BIPV technology is transforming solar energy integration by turning building materials like roofs and façades into power-generating assets. 

This webinar will offer a deep dive into BIPV’s potential, showcase Canadian examples, review international R&D efforts under the IEA PVPS Task 15 and highlight the growing interest in BIPV as a key component in the renewable energy mix. 

Speakers:

Véronique Delisle 
Véronique Delisle is a project manager in the Renewable Energy Integration Program at the CanmetENERGY research centre of Natural Resources Canada. She manages projects related to building integrated photovoltaics, the potential and control of flexible loads, smart cities and bulk power system modelling pathways for net-zero regional and national grids.
