Luis Fernando Mulcue Nieto is a Physics Engineer, Master in Physics, Master in Solar Energy, Ph.D. in Physics, and Ph.D. in Engineering – BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics). After studying on 3 continents and graduating with honors, he published scientific articles in international journals on solar energy. Luis Fernando was recognized by the Institute for the Development of Alternative Energies in Latin America (IDEAL), and the Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE), because he invented an equation that allows engineers and architects to easily design buildings that use solar energy in their facades. He has received more than 20 international awards.
He is currently the Founder and CEO of the Company BIPV SOLAR CONSULTING LLC (https://bipvsolarconsulting.com/) and of theInternational Network of Solar Architecture and Smart Cities, BIPV GLOBAL (https://bipvglobal.com), of Miami-Florida, USA. This company is dedicated to the consultancy and distribution of new solar materials for the construction of “Futuristic Solar Buildings and Houses“, such as solar tiles, solar facades, solar windows, and flexible solar panels. Through his company, he is in charge of helping solar installers to offer these new photovoltaic technologies such as CIGS, quantum glass, organic photovoltaics, and perovskites, among others. He is also researching how to design a new type of cheaper and more efficient solar cells for BIPV, using physical nanotechnology techniques.
He has been a consultant for manufacturing companies, opening new markets in various Latin American countries, and achieving more than 7 MW of expansion in the solar industry. He has been an instructor for SEI since 2016, and always speaks with pride of SEI as “The World’s Best Educational Institution in the Solar Industry.” Luis Fernando enjoys helping people and traveling with his wife and children.
