Overview of the current BIPV network in Austria
The figure shows the links between stakeholders within the BIPV sector, highlighting their relationships with different groups. These links, particularly with smaller actors, represent group affiliations, as indicated by the colour-coded links. Five main groups are identified within this network: Module and system manufacturers, platforms, universities, research institutes and the policy and regulation sector. This last group also includes designers, subdivided into building physicists and architects. Notably, façade and roof specialists within BIPV are categorised under module and system manufacturers. It is important to note that some roofing companies, such as Prefa and Wienerberger, use photovoltaic modules from European PV manufacturers and integrate them into their building products. Kioto Photovoltaics, for example, is a common outsourcing partner in this context. Other companies' such as Sunplugged, Wienerberger and Bramac also play an important role in this ecosystem. While some have started to produce BIPV modules, others focus on research or are in the development phase of their product offering. Eternit also refers to the integration of photovoltaics into building products by Eternit, a company specialising in fibre cement products. Eternit offers BIPV solutions where PV technology is integrated into its building products to provide both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Task65 - Solar Akademie - SACREEE
The IEA SHC Solar Academy and SOLTRAIN (Southern African Solar Thermal Training and Demonstration Initiative) hosted with the support of SACREEE and SANEDI a specialized course for professionals on Solar Cooling for Sunbelt Regions at Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study in South Africa. A total of 46 participants from 7 countries took part, with around 8 of them participating virtually. https://task65.iea-shc.org/Data/Sites/1/publications/IEA-SHC-Solar-Update--Solar-Academy-SACREEE.pdf

Hybrid Solar Cooling Concept
As part of the SolarHybrid project, functional models for an ammonia/water (NH3/H2O) single-/half-effect (SE/HE) absorption chiller were adapted based on the previous DAKtris project and a new NH3 compression chiller was built.

High-temperature storage tanks at 160 °C ensure heat supply at night
The solar process heating plant was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.

Final meeting of the IEA SHC Task 64 in Seville with a tour of Europe's largest solar process heat plant
The final meeting of the IEA SHC Task 64 took place in Seville. Europe's largest solar process heat plant was visited as part of the meeting. It was built in 2023 by Azteq/Solarlite, is operated by ENGIE Spain and supplies heat to the Heineken Sevilla brewery. In addition to the parabolic trough solar area of 43,000 m² (30 MW thermal output), high-temperature storage tanks (8 x 200 m³) ensure a high solar share of 60-70%.
