Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems are photovoltaic power generating systems that are integrated directly into the building structure, replacing conventional building materials in parts of the building envelope such as roofs, facades, skylights, and windows. Unlike traditional solar panels that are mounted on top of buildings, BIPV systems serve a dual function: they act as both a building material and an electricity generator. These systems help reduce energy consumption from conventional sources, improve building aesthetics, and contribute to sustainable and energy-efficient building design. BIPV technology plays an important role in green buildings by utilizing available building surfaces to generate renewable energy while maintaining architectural functionality. A BIPV system consists of several components that work together to convert solar energy into usable electrical power. The first component is the photovoltaic modules, which are the core elements
