As a working definition, ‘building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is a renewable, solar PV technology that is integrated into buildings. It refers to solar PV components/modules that function as conventional building materials in the building envelope, such as the roof, skylights or façade elements .
As the combination of a huge construction market and photovoltaic market has great potential, building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems will have an infinite and broad development prospect.
In fact, in addition to reducing the operating costs and energy efficiency, building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems can also contribute to carbon neutral development processes, a high quality of life, low carbon green development, clean energy promotion, climate change, employment, and the health of the population on a large scale.
BIPV implies that the solar PV module is a functional and integral part of the building which ‘generates electricity for the building to reduce the energy needs and, at the same time, bear external loads and keep the safety and integrality of the building’ . Figure 1.1 illustrates a possible application of BIPV on a conventional building.
In China, the majority of research has focused on case studies against the background of ecological and low-carbon urban development strategy to explore the application and expansion of the BIPV novel photovoltaic building construction mode in multiple dimensions and fields .
BIPV systems can also be integrated to existing buildings via retrofitting; attributing to an innovative and practical approach that provides electrical self-sufficiency in buildings by clean energy generation without compromising the aesthetical appearance [3, 5].
