MIPV Solar
Leading manufacturer of solar technologies based in the UK
MIPV is the Mobile Solar Power division of BIPVCo.
Pioneering manufacturer of flexible integrated solar power modules.
Delivering solutions for:
- Commercial fleet vehicles including blue light services
- Leisure vehicles (including leisure vehicles such as motorhomes, caravans and boats)
- Off grid / temporary power needs.
- Electric vehicle charging solar carports.
MIPV is strongly placed as both manufacturer and innovator in solar technology. We understand our technology and your needs and we engineer the right solutions for our clients.
The core technology and the manufacturing process was initially developed by a joint R&D collaboration program between industry ( Tata Steel), Academia ( Swansea University) and government funding (Wales).
Following further incubation at Swansea University, BIPVCo was spun out in April 2015.
Production was ramped up from lab scale to commercial scale and all necessary accreditations and certifications were secured while building demonstrators across diverse geographies and applications.
The company is a pioneer in the adoption of CIGS technology to solve many of the issues not addressed by conventional solar solutions, particularly for mobile fleet applications whether it be ICE’s or EV’s. The main brief is to meet as much of the ancillary power needs of the ICE vehicle as possible by use of solar technology.
MIPV does not merely manufacture standard solar modules but works collaboratively with key partners to deliver optimised and customised plug and play solar solutions- specifically tailored to meet the needs of the project and its use.
MIPV’s prime development location and production facility is based in Newport, South Wales, UK. All our modules are manufactured on site and shipped worldwide for a wide range of projects. Every module has full traceability as part of our quality control process.

Unique technology
The unrivalled features & benefits of MIPV technology has enabled MIPV to be the solar partner of choice in a wide range of projects from powering the ancillary services in Welsh Ambulances to energising the navigation equipment on a 3,200 mile trans-Atlantic rowing adventure.
The thin film flexible architecture of the power modules facilitates ease of integration, is robust (shatterproof), maintenance free and backed up by a comprehensive warranty as assurance of quality.
Following initial trials, demonstrations and proof of performance across diverse vehicles and applications, a number of major fleet operators have adopted MIPV solutions as their preferred technology to improve reliability, reduce emissions and lower operating costs.
The Future
The vision of MIPV is to reduce the need for inefficient and environmentally damaging fossil fuels in mobile & deployable applications and thereby avoid harmful emissions so damaging to the environment and our wellbeing. Semi hybridisation using MIPV’s technology in vehicles and off grid scenarios offers a gateway to improving the situation. As further guidelines and legislation are introduced in the drive towards lower emissions and carbon neutrality, consumers can rely on MIPV technology enhance their operating systems and lead the transformation.
MIPV plug and play solutions are easy to install and are designed and engineered to address a multitude of vehicles and applications. MIPV technology can greatly reduce operating costs including fuel with excellent payback.
Please contact MIPV to evaluate what our technology can do to enhance your fleets operating performance or in the case of leisure applications, how your horizons can be expanded- without the guilt of increased emissions.
