One potential and practically easy application for PV integration in building structures is self-consumption specifically in the absence of other policy instruments such as feed-in tariffs (FITs) (Mateo et al., 2018). Such integration enables a direct utilization of PV electricity in the site where it is produced.
Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) stand as a promising solution to provide renewable electricity for achieving zero-energy buildings, although still hindered from large-scale implementations due to the difficulty of traditional photovoltaic modules in meeting the standards and aesthetics of architectural materials.
