Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) refer to solar panels that are integrated directly into a building’s structure, such as roofs, facades, or windows, rather than being mounted separately. BIPV panels serve a dual purpose by generating electricity while acting as functional building components, replacing conventional materials .  This integration offers a streamlined approach to harnessing solar energy without compromising architectural design. Unlike traditional solar installations, BIPV systems are part of the building envelope, improving both energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal. They help reduce reliance on external power sources by producing clean energy locally. As demand for sustainable building solutions grows, BIPV is becoming an increasingly attractive option for new construction and retrofits. With continuous advancements in photovoltaic technology, BIPV is evolving to include semi-transparent panels and multifunctional designs that expand its applications....
