Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is the integration of photovoltaics (PV) into the building envelope. The PV modules serve the dual function of building skin—replacing conventional building envelope materials—and power generator. By avoiding the cost of conventional materials, the incremental cost of photovoltaics is reduced and its life-cycle cost is improved.
BIPV advantages and benefits:
- Generate clean, renewable energy;
- Provide shading and insulation;
- Improve a building’s energy efficiency;
- Save cost by reducing conventional building materials;
- Enhance aesthetical looks of the buildings.
