Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market Overview

The Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market is projected to reach USD42.20 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 18.5% during the forecast period 2022-2027. BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) consists of solar integrated modules into the building envelope. The use of renewable energy for sustainable living and the adoption of smart cities to attain the goal of a zero-energy building are driving the market growth. The BIPV consists of modules, inverters, cables and possibly additional string diodes between the PV modules or power optimizers. The PV cell energy is absorbed from short wavelength electromagnetic radiation. The gallium arsenide and its alloys are frequently used materials for PV cells. The BIPV is widely adopted owing to its low electricity production cost, adaptability and modern architecture. This is driving the market growth. In August 2022, GAC Bahrain announced the installation of PV solar panels on the rooftop of its warehouse in Al Hidd as part of the GAC Group’s commitment to reduce its carbon footprint. The Al Mannai Projects by GAC Bahrain, partnered with local renewable energy Construction Company, would install 552 solar panels to generate approximately 300 KW of power to meet the electricity needs. This would lead to the Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics market growth.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market Segment Analysis - by Application

The Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market by application has been segmented into Wall Integrated Solution, Roofing (Tiles, Shingles, Laminates and Metal seams), Windows, Glass, Facades, Glazing and Cladding. The Roofing segment by application in the Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market is expected to grow the fastest at a CAGR of 19.6% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The increase in the adoption of PV modules that are integrated into building roofs is due to their high output, minimal maintenance, adaptability and energy-saving characteristics. It also provides great strength due to its features such as waterproof, resistance to climatic conditions and system auto-shutdown to avoid fire. It also improves the aesthetics of the building. These factors are driving the market growth. In July 2022, GoodWe launched its advanced BIPV solution which could be integrated with inverters, EV chargers and SEMS. It provides a 100% waterproof effect and auto-shutdown feature to avoid fire outbreaks and can withstand harsh climatic conditions. The advanced roofing solution can help annual savings of about $0.18 per sq. ft. in commercial buildings. The new BIPV solution also encourages users in becoming carbon neutral. These factors are driving the growth of the Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics market size.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market Segment Analysis - by End-users

The Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market by end-users can be segmented into Industrial buildings, Residential buildings and Commercial buildings. The Industrial buildings segment by end-users in the Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market is expected to grow the fastest at a CAGR of 19.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. The BIPVs are widely adopted in industrial buildings to achieve the goal of a zero-energy building by reducing the use of non-renewable energy sources. Industries in developed countries are investing more in integrated Photovoltaics intending to switch to modes that reduce electricity consumption and improve the aesthetic of the building. All these factors are driving the market growth. In January 2022, Mitrex stated that it was in the process of installing Ontario's largest building-integrated vertical photovoltaic wall at EtobicokeToronto. The wall would cover an area of over 7,000 SQFT of customized solar facade panels and is expected to produce 90,000 kWh power annually while lowering the carbon footprint. The above factors are driving the growth of the Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics market size.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market Segment Analysis - by Geography

The Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market by geography is segmented into North America, Europe, APAC, South America and the Rest of the World. Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 19.2% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Developing countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and India are adopting the BIPV to reduce the impact of non-renewable energy resources on the environment. The production of PV modules in this region has also increased with the rapid use of solar resources. The government is also taking initiatives to spread awareness about the advantages of zero-energy buildings and encouraging consumers to adopt BIPV solutions. This is driving the market growth. In May 2022, a report by China Photovoltaic Industry Association stated that the country added 55 gigawatts of power in 2021, accounting for 33% of the global capacity. China also got the tag of largest PV maker as 58% of the world’s PV modules are manufactured in China. All these factors are driving the growth of the Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics industry.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market Drivers

The government’s initiatives to adopt and spread awareness about the advantages of green resources:

The governments of various countries are introducing incentives to encourage the adoption of PV modules and also to spread awareness about the advantages of using renewable resources. The BIPV is economical in long run and also maintains the appearance of the building which is attracting consumers to adopt the solution. All these factors are driving the market growth. In August 2022, the Bahamas Government announced a budget of $1.9 million for the solar rooftop program for clinics, schools and public libraries. The government also invested $14.2 million in installing a 25 MW battery energy storage at the Baillou Hill Power plant to take the nation towards cleaner energy. All these factors would drive the growth of the Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics industry.

The improved efficiency of the c-Si module:

Crystalline silicon cells are widely used in roofing as they don’t need a large investment and provide high efficiency. The c-Si offers the highest energy conversion efficiency. It typically converts 13%-21% of the incident sunlight into electricity. The Crystalline silicon cells are highly reliable as they can reach a module lifetime of 25+ years and exhibit little long-term degradation. All these factors are driving the market growth. In March 2021, the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory stated that crystalline silicon cells were the most commonly used technology. The lifecycle analysis of the c-Si cells shows superior performance and it also holds more than 90% of the global market. All these factors are driving the growth of the Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics market size.

Building Integrated Photovoltaics Market Challenges

High Deployment costs and limited efficiency of PV modules:

The initial deployment cost of the Building Integrated Photovoltaics modules is quite high. The developing countries would face problems while investing in such expensive solutions. The efficiency of the PV modules is also limited. Scientists are also working to enhance efficiency for years but there have not been many positive outcomes. All these factors would restrict the market growth. In May 2022, Trina Solar PV solution provider in their recent research report stated that they observed a maximum of 25.5% cell efficiency in real production this year which is the highest value to date. The low efficiency of the cells would decrease the production of electricity which would directly affect the availability of power supply to consumers. All these factors would restrict the growth of the Global Building Integrated Photovoltaics industry.
