ENGIE, Heliatek and the Departement of Charentes Maritimes officially inaugurated the world's largest BiOPV installation on a roof. In the southwestern port of La Rochelle, France, 500m² of Heliatek's solar films were installed on the roof of the “Pierre Mendes France” middle school. With three different lengths of 2, 4 and 5.7m, nearly 400 films were applied in record time. They were installed on two different roof surfaces. The result is the largest BiOPV – building integrated organic photovoltaic - roof installation, worldwide to date, and the living proof of the ease and speed at which these solar films can be installed on a building.
