BIPVs are incorporated in the conventional building materials of exteriors such as the rooftops, facades, skylights, and sunshade. This system reduces costs by reducing the spend on construction materials.
Benefits of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV)
- Environment-Friendly: BIPV is the most potent way of producing on-site electricity directly from the sun, without harming pollution.
- Dual Purpose: BIPV modules restore conventional building envelope materials and generate power.
- There are many parts of the building that can be easily substituted with photovoltaic: skylights, roofs, windows, and facades.
- The photovoltaic system can be used as a stand-alone power unit to a building by powering an automatic sun-blind, operating an engine driven ventilation system, or be grid-tied.
