A New Report published by IEA PVPS has defined BIPV

Category: Environment

Incorporating solar energy into our built environment represents an opportunity to install hundreds of gigawatts around the world without occupying any additional land. However, in many cases, this will require solutions beyond typical rooftop photovoltaic installations and closer cooperation between photovoltaics and the construction industry. A new report issued by IEA PVPS aims to combine the benefits of the two worlds and clearly classify the building envelope and energy functions of different BIPV components.
