BIPV is a technology that integrates solar power (photovoltaic) products into buildings. BIPV is different from BAPV. According to the different ways of combining photovoltaic arrays with buildings, building integrated solar photovoltaic can be divided into two categories:
The first category is the combination of photovoltaic arrays and buildings. This method is to attach the photovoltaic array to the building, and the building acts as a carrier of the photovoltaic array and plays a supporting role.
The second category is the integration of photovoltaic arrays and buildings. In this way, the photovoltaic module appears in the form of a building material, and the photovoltaic array becomes an integral part of the building.
