GoodWe Showcases Lightweight & Weather-Resistant BIPV Solutions at MPIA Solar Roadshow
April 25, 2025
KUALA LUMPUR, April 22, 2025 – GoodWe PVBM, a global leader in building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solutions, took center stage as the Platinum Sponsor of the MPIA Solar Roadshow 2025, debuting innovative PV building materials to over 310 architects, EPC contractors, and renewable energy stakeholders. The event highlighted two flagship product lines engineered to address Malaysia’s unique challenges: lightweight retrofitting for aging infrastructure and climate-resilient solutions for tropical environments.
Galaxy Series: Redefining Lightweight Rooftop Solar with Zero Structural Impact
The Galaxy Series Solar Panels captivated attendees with its 5.6 kg/m² lightweight design, designed for low-load-bearing roofs. Its no-drill installation eliminates roof penetrations, using adaptive clamps and gluing materials to secure panels to rooftops without compromising waterproofing. The technology addresses a critical barrier for aging warehouses and factories, enabling retrofits without structural upgrades. Demonstrations highlighted compatibility with curved rooftops, a feature previously limiting traditional solar adoption in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector.
Polaris Series: Waterproof Energy Generation
As a robust solution for canopy applications, the Polaris Series waterproof solar panels attracted significant attention for their dual-purpose functionality in high-rainfall regions. Featuring an IP67 protection rating, dual-glass construction, and bifacial generation design, the series is ideal for solar carports and canopy structures, combining monsoon-resistant durability with reliable energy production. Discussions focused on residential and commercial parking lot deployments, where the modular system design enables scalable installation while preserving architectural aesthetics. GoodWe engineers also shared real-world performance data from tropical climates, demonstrating the panels’ stable output even under high humidity and heavy rainfall conditions.
At the roadshow, GoodWe PVBM emphasized the critical role of BIPV in achieving the country’s renewable energy targets, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by existing building structural limitations and climate adaptability. An engineer from GoodWe PVBM noted, “Conventional PV modules and typical flexible panels are often too heavy, complex to install, or prone to issues such as hotspots and microcracks. These limitations prevent them from being applied to many structurally constrained buildings or enabling truly independent architectural innovation. Our solutions are specifically designed to overcome these obstacles and unlock new possibilities.”
