Abstract

This chapter presents a system description of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) and its application, design, and policy and strategies. The purpose of this study is to review the deployment of photovoltaic systems in sustainable buildings. PV technology is prominent, and BIPV systems are crucial for power generation. BIPV generates electricity and covers structures, saving material and energy costs and improving architectural appeal. BIPV generates clean electricity on-site and reduces building energy consumption through daylight usage and cooling load reduction, contributing to net-zero energy buildings. However, its adoption is limited by higher system costs compared to typical roof-mounted systems. BIPV systems serve as the outer layer of a structure and generate on-site electricity or grid export, resulting in material and electricity cost savings and enhanced architectural appeal while reducing pollution. The BIPV market is expected to grow from $17.7B in 2022 to $83.3B by 2030, with a CAGR of 21.4% from 2022 to 2030. A graphical abstract for PV system deployment in sustainable buildings is shown in Fig. 5.1.
