Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), as a technology with the potential to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, is considered to be a viable method for renewable energy generation to help buildings meet their own loads, with dual uses. Transparent BIPV modules into buildings not only replace traditional building façade materials but also generate energy while maintaining traditional functional roles. Increased awareness of building energy efficiency and promoting the use of clean or renewable energy technologies.
Solar energy is a form of radiant energy that can be harnessed with a range of advanced technologies, such as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), solar heating, solar buildings, solar thermal, and artificial photosynthesis. BIPV technology is increasingly becoming one of the effective ways to harvest renewable energy for buildings to minimize the energy crisis by over-reliance on fossil fuels and other unclean energy sources. The conversion of solar radiation to electricity is achieved through photovoltaic materials such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, and amorphous silicon.
Replacing traditional materials in buildings with BIPV offers several properties that not only save energy but also generate electricity through the efficient conversion of solar radiation.
The application of BIPV technology enables photovoltaic modules to serve multiple purposes such as roofs, facades, thermal insulators, noise protectors, and weather protectors. Among BIPV technologies, semi-transparent integrated photovoltaic is the most used technology in facades, windows, and greenhouses because it allows natural light to enter buildings while generating electricity, creating a good environment; therefore, it is the most popular technology in urban environments Promising future energy system.
