Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) are a type of photovoltaic technology seamlessly integrated into building structures, commonly used in roof and facade construction to replace traditional building materials.
At present, many countries in the world use building-integrated photovoltaic technology to achieve building energy creation by installing photovoltaic power generation modules on the periphery of buildings so as to achieve the low-carbon operation of building projects and materials.
The purpose of this study is to review the deployment of photovoltaic systems in sustainable buildings. PV technology is prominent, and BIPV systems are crucial for power generation. BIPV generates electricity and covers structures, saving material and energy costs and improving architectural appeal.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is anticipated to impact the global sustainable energy system’s development significantly. The trend toward sustainable building design shows evident expansion, particularly on multi-objective optimization.
