Photovoltaic’s
(or PV) is the field of technology and research related to the
application of solar cells for energy by converting solar energy
(sunlight, including ultra violet radiation) directly into electricity.
Due to the growing demand for clean sources of energy, the manufacture
of solar cells and photovoltaic arrays has expanded dramatically
in recent years.
Building-integrated photovoltaic’s
(BIPV) are photovoltaic materials that are used to
replace conventional building materials in parts of the building
envelope such as the roof, skylights, or facades. They are increasingly
being incorporated into the construction of new buildings as
a principal or ancillary source of electrical power, although
existing buildings may be retrofitted with BIPV modules as well.
The advantage of integrated photovoltaic’s over more common
non-integrated systems is that the initial cost can be offset
by reducing the amount spent on building materials and labour
that would normally be used to construct the part of the building
that the BIPV modules replace. In addition, since BIPV re an
integral part of the design, they generally blend in better
and are more aesthetically appealing than other solar options.
