a b s t r a c t

Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) are photovoltaic (PV) modules integrated into the building

envelope and hence also replacing traditional parts of the building envelope, e.g. the roofing. In this

context, the BIPVs integration with the building envelope limits the costs by serving dual purposes.

BIPVs have a great advantage compared to non-integrated systems because there is neither need for

allocation of land nor stand-alone PV systems. This study seeks to outline various commercially

available approaches to BIPVs and thus provides a state-of-the-art review. In addition, possible future

research opportunities are explored.

The various categories of BIPVs may be divided into photovoltaic foils, photovoltaic tiles, photo-

voltaic modules and solar cell glazings. Silicon materials are the most commonly used, and a distinction

is made between wafer-based technologies and thin-film technologies. In addition, various non-silicon

materials are available. The main options for building integration of PV cells are on sloped roofs, flat

roofs and facades. The evaluation of the different BIPV products involves, among others, properties such

as solar cell efficiency, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, maximum effect and fill factor.

It is expected that the BIPV systems will improve in the years to come, regarding both device and

manufacturing efficiency. The future seems very promising in the BIPV industry, both concerning new

technologies, different solutions and the variety of BIPV options.

1. Introduction

Currently, the world is using fossil fuel at an alarming rate that not only will strain the sources in the near future, but will result in a great amount of pollution as well. The power industry emissions were 10.9 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (GtCO2e) per year in 2005, i.e. 24% of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, and this is expected to increase to 18.7 GtCO2e per year in 2030 [41]. ‘‘Carbon dioxide equivalent is the unit for emissions that, for a given mixture and amount of greenhouse gas, represents the amount of CO2 that would have the same global warming potential (GWP) when measured over a specified timescale (generally 100 years)’’ [41].
