BIPV is building integrated photovoltaics, a technology for integration of energy needs of buildings with solar photovoltaic technology. BIPV electric glazing generates electricity from the sun. It reduces thermal radiation in to buildings & allows natural daylight to pass through. They replace conventional construction materials like glass/granite/marble etc. BIPV solar electric glazing enhances the building's aesthetics. In short, BIPV solar electric glazing is used as architectural elements such as roofing, skylights, rain screens, or curtain walls. Using them as integral part of the building saves costs associated with conventional materials like glass, marble, granite or concrete. Energy generated by solar electric glazing can be stored & used for meeting the building's energy needs. Hence, it could serve as an alternate energy generator.
