Pilot Project Implementation Process
• Main Obstacle: Lack of experience in BIPV in theregion and the small capacity and investment for thesuggested BIPV system, which resulted in thefollowing:– First local tender release - No success
– Second local tender release - No success
– Competitive negotiated procedure for the procurementand installation of BIPV panels – No success
– Competitive negotiated procedure for the procurement ofBIPV panels – Successful
– Soliciting offers for the installation - Successful
