Integrated PV (IPV) is a key enabler for achieving a sustainable energy transition by embedding renewable energy generation into urban and industrial environments, thereby reducing the need for additional land use. European research and innovation efforts are paving the way for new materials, novel manufacturing processes, and advanced system integration methods that improve efficiency, aesthetics, and adaptability.
This session will start with presentations of the work of the ETIP PV Working Group on Integrated PV and the work of IEA-PVPS Task 15. Then, European projects will highlight their latest advancements addressing technical challenges for IPV. Finally, the session will close on a panel discussion reuniting all speakers, focusing on how Task 15, ETIP PV and EU-funded projects can push forward the development of BIPV.
