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.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is anticipated to impact the global sustainable energy system’s development significantly. The trend toward sustainable building design shows evident expansion, particularly on multi-objective optimization.
It was in the early 1990s, that the idea of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems emerged . The BIPV was considered a functional part of the building structure, which is different from the conventional building in which the photovoltaic system is only mounted on the existing structure. They serve dual purpose.
