Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Module Type (Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline, Thin Film, Others), By Application (Roof Top, Curtain Wall, Glass, Others), By End User (Residential, Commercial, Industrial) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

In recent years, the use of renewable energy resources has been rapidly gaining traction in different parts of the world. Additionally, the increasing global population has created a platform for the growth of both the energy sector and the construction industry. Solar photovoltaics is among the key sources of generating renewable energy.

Building-integrated photovoltaics are also a type of solar PV modules used in the building’s exteriors such as rooftops, windows and curtain walls. Building-integrated photovoltaics help in maintaining the economy as well as the appearance of the building. The building-integrated photovoltaics are used as replacements for the conventional building materials in both commercials as well as residential constructions.

The building-integrated photovoltaics can be classified on the basis of module type, application, and end-use. By module type, building-integrated photovoltaics are divided as monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film and others. The monocrystalline building-integrated photovoltaics have higher module efficiency compared to the polycrystalline photovoltaics. Building-integrated photovoltaics are used in industrial, commercial as well as residential buildings. Wherein, they are used for rooftop, curtail wall, glass, and facade among other applications.

Increasing awareness and incentives for the use of renewable energy sources have been the key factors to attract the attention of people towards building-integrated photovoltaics. Building-integrated photovoltaics not only maintain but also improve the exterior appearance of the building. The building-integrated photovoltaics generate power which can be used to meet the energy requirement of the building. Owing to which the building-integrated photovoltaics market is expected to witness a boom in the near future.

However, the capital requirement for the installation of building-integrated PV modules is higher as compared to the traditional PV modules which are expected to retard the growth of building-integrated photovoltaics.
