BUILD Architecture Awards 2025 Best Architectural PV Solutions Consultancy 2025 – Europe Integrating photovoltaic (PV) systems into the building environment has never been more important than it is right now. The world is becoming increasingly aware of the devastating impact climate change has, and it is pivotal to try and integrate eco-friendly solutions into as many aspects of daily life as we can if we are to mitigate its effect. A great way to do this is to start with the buildings we inhabit – homes, workplaces, and so on – with every area of these spaces benefiting from solar integration. There is always a solution with arconsol, which prides itself on being able to deliver a comprehensive range of services for every part of a building – from the roof to the cladding, awnings, and even the balcony – alongside its network of tenured partners from across the glass, façade, and electrical engineering sectors. It may not be rocket science, but arconsol knows solar technology brings with it many questions. Answering these alleviates headaches and sees real progress made. Guiding his clients through every step of the solar integration process, Dieter Moor has years of expertise under his belt spanning photovoltaics, architecture, and construction. Through arconsol, Dieter is able to seamlessly combine these disciplines that he is so passionate about and deliver architectural masterpieces that are not only well thought out, but also economical, aesthetically pleasing, and flawlessly executed. To achieve this, Dieter works with the people behind the success of a project. This includes the people that will finance it, such as the owners, local governments, or real estate companies; those who will actually create it, the architects and the designers; and finally, his fellow industry professionals, those responsible for producing the solar products that arconsol will fit into a project’s design. Exploring this further, Dieter provided us with an example: “In my last project, both the real estate company and the architect faced the challenge of demonstrating compliance with local regulations regarding the use of solar energy. Due to the complex geometry and shading situation, this was not a trivial task.” However, Dieter continued: “Thanks to the relevant expertise and the software used, arconsol was able to provide the required verification without any issues.” This simply scratches the surface, as every project managed by arconsol sees a balance struck between design, performance, and regulatory compliance. Dieter begins by understanding the vision of the client and the functional goals of the building, before drawing from his unique skillset to imagine how solar integration can be deployed from the outset. This may be achieved by using building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) or more conventional PV systems, like solar panels. What Dieter does is not always easy, and the fact that BIPV is still a very niche subject area means Founded in Linz, Austria, arconsol (which stands for architectural consulting on solar solutions) has been supporting solar technology’s seamless integration into architecture since opening its doors just under three years ago. The company’s role is to offer support to stakeholders across the design process, leveraging deep industry insights and more than 20 years of first-hand experience to serve as a partner to these, its clients. Founder Dieter Moor caught up with us to offer a unique insight into his company. that bringing all of the relevant stakeholders up to speed is a recurring challenge for this oneman band. Not one to be defeated however, Dieter leverages his expansive network and heavy involvement in research projects around topics such as compliance and fire safety to deliver support and guidance that evolves with client needs. Providing clarity and a sense of direction in a landscape that is at times fragmented and always highly intricate, arconsol understands exactly how to approach building integrated photovoltaics and solar architecture from every angle. Its 360-degree method is not just a service – it is a strategic shortcut for streamlining operations, mitigating risks, and moving forwards with confidence and efficiency. Finally, arconsol is excited to announce that it is set to work on two projects from India over the coming months, undertakings that will help Dieter to further develop the emerging BIPV environment across several levels. This reflects the company’s ability to continue to go the extra mile for both its clients and wider society alike – a commitment that has proven invaluable in it being recognised as the Best Architectural PV Solutions Consultancy 2025 – Europe in our Architecture Awards 2025.
