Abstract

The application of building-integrated photovoltaic technology has developod very rapidly in recent years. This paper presents a review of the development of the BIPV applications in major countries around the world. It is found that demonstration projects can help the promotion of the technology at the beginning of any BIPV programmes, but the government energy policy and incentive strategies play a critical role for its sustainable development. Based on our experience of BIPV research and consultancy projects completed in Hong Kong, the past, current and future application of this technology is summarized. The future potential of BIPV contribution can be a substantial part of the demand.
