Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Market Technology Trends and Advances Report 2021: BIPV Gaining Traction as a Versatile Energy Harvesting Tool with Economical, and Technical Benefits - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Technology Trends and Advances in Building Integrated Photovoltaics" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

BIPV innovation aims to identify new materials for cost-effective and efficient BIPV systems. Researchers also focus on developing optimized manufacturing processes to reduce the manufacturing costs of BIPVs.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) integrates photovoltaics (PV) and building architecture. BIPVs serve as on-site power generators for buildings, resulting in energy costs saving and reducing the building's carbon footprint. Also, if the BIPV system interfaces with the power grid, the unused electricity may be exported to the utility for grid support purposes.

This research analyzes BIPV development in terms of materials used for manufacturing, technological advancements increasing operational efficiency, and developments in BIPV adhesive systems. Most technological developments focus on identifying or synthesizing novel materials for BIPV construction to improve the operational efficiency and cost effectiveness of BIPVs. Researchers are also developing BIPVs that can convert sunlight to electricity efficiently, even in low-light conditions.

For BIPV, buildings provide enough area for PV systems without requiring the use of additional ground and avoid electric transmission costs. In addition to the cost and energy-saving benefits, BIPVs provide an aesthetic edge to the building facade, making it look more appealing.
