BUILDING INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAIC (BIPV) ARCHITECTURALLY SMART INTEGRATION OF PV IN THE BUILDING ENVELOPE

摘要

Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) is one of the most interesting options to use PV in the built environment. This paper presents some of the necessary steps to bring PV Technology closer to the building market and to design successful examples of BIPV systems. A new book will provide more in detail a knowledge and information base which makes it possible to develop a contemporary architecture with PV, which not only copies traditional and historical forms but also creates a basis for the further development of PV into independent and future-oriented solutions.
