Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) refer to photovoltaic materials that are integrated directly into building structures, such as rooftops, facades, windows, and skylights, generating electricity while serving as part of the building envelope. BIPV systems offer a dual function of energy generation and building material, enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability in modern architecture.
The global BIPV market is growing due to rising energy costs, government incentives for renewable energy adoption, and increasing demand for green building certifications and sustainable construction. Technological advancements in solar cells, aesthetics, and energy storage integration are further boosting adoption.
