On November 6, the 22nd China International Exposition of Housing Industry and Building Industrialization (referred to as China Housing Expo) grandly opened at the Beijing Shougang International Convention and Exhibition Center. As a global leader in BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics), Yingli | Gain Solar made a remarkable appearance at the specially designated exhibition area themed “Architectural Photovoltaics and Zero-Carbon Aesthetics.” Gain Solar showcased its innovative products, demonstration projects, and smart “PV-Storage-Direct-Flexible” solutions that combine aesthetic appeal with technological innovation, presenting a visionary blueprint for zero-carbon architecture to the industry and visitors.
This year’s China Housing Expo, themed “Technology Empowers Quality Housing, Industrial Upgrading Drives Development,” is jointly organized by the Center for Science and Technology and Industrialization Development of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD), the China Real Estate Association, and the China Building Culture Center. As one of the most authoritative and influential events in the housing and urban-rural development sector, the Expo comprehensively showcases the achievements and latest technological innovations in this field. It aims to promote the industrialization, digitalization, and green transformation of the construction industry, advancing the high-quality development of housing and urban-rural construction.
Against this backdrop, the “Architectural Photovoltaics and Zero-Carbon Aesthetics” exhibition area became a major highlight of this year’s event. Combining cutting-edge innovation with practical application, the zone features three main sections — Practical, Aesthetic, and Innovative — to explore replicable and scalable BIPV technologies. It demonstrates the industry’s technological capabilities and contributes to the healthy and sustainable development of the building photovoltaics sector.
At the exhibition, Yingli | Gain Solar’s exhibits perfectly embodied the “Aesthetic” and “Innovative” themes, becoming a focal point of attention across the venue.
This series seamlessly integrates elements of traditional Chinese architecture with modern photovoltaic technology, breaking the conventional limitations of PV modules in terms of color, texture, and form. Beyond serving as highly efficient power-generating units, these products are also premium architectural materials that endow building façades and rooftops with unique cultural charm and aesthetic value. Through optical data modeling and AI-driven spectral color-matching algorithms, Yingli | Gain Solar achieves a deep integration of photovoltaics and architectural design language. The result is a green and visually appealing solution tailored for urban renewal projects, commercial landmarks, cultural and tourism buildings, and premium residential developments.
As the core highlight of the “Innovative” exhibition section, this solution demonstrates Yingli | Gain Solar’s strong capability in advanced technology integration. By combining photovoltaic power generation, energy storage systems, DC distribution, and flexible control technologies, the company has built an efficient, safe, and intelligent building energy ecosystem. This system establishes a balanced, adaptable carbon-reduction pathway for buildings, enabling cross-sector integration between architecture and power systems. It represents a key technological route toward realizing zero-carbon buildings and achieving “negative-carbon” operations in the future.
During the Expo, Yingli | Gain Solar also showcased a wide range of global demonstration projects covering public and commercial buildings, zero-carbon industrial parks, data centers, and rural revitalization initiatives. To date, the company’s BIPV products have been successfully applied in numerous landmark projects, including:
The Guangzhou Hong Kong Jockey Club Horse Training Center — China’s largest single BIPV project, featuring the highest degree of customization, the richest color palette, and the most complex structural design;
The Yancheng Sheyang Port Zero-Carbon Industrial Park — the first fully green-power zero-carbon demonstration park in the Yangtze River Delta region;
China Mobile Greater Bay Area (Shaoguan) Data Center — the only hub node of the national integrated computing network in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area;
435 Bourke Street, Melbourne — Australia’s first solar-skin commercial complex.
So far, Yingli | Gain Solar’s BIPV solutions have been applied in over 100 landmark projects across domestic and international markets, covering a total area of more than 1.2 million square meters, reducing building-related carbon emissions by nearly 100,000 tons annually.
Yingli | Gain Solar’s participation in this year’s Expo not only demonstrated its strong capabilities in product research and development, but also highlighted its corporate mission to promote the deep integration of architecture and energy. Guided by China’s “Dual Carbon” strategy, the company integrates photovoltaic power generation functions into building materials, enabling every building to become a potential “green power plant.” This provides solid technological support for the large-scale development of green buildings and ultra-low-energy buildings.
“We are honored to showcase our latest innovations at the China Housing Expo, a national-level platform that brings together leaders across the industry,” said the company’s exhibition representative. “Yingli | Gain Solar is committed to empowering architecture through technology and making green energy accessible to all. We look forward to working hand in hand with industry peers and partners to explore more possibilities for BIPV, and to contribute our expertise and innovation toward constructing safe, comfortable, green, and intelligent buildings that drive the high-quality development of the green building industry.”
