Exploring the Ripple Effects of BIPV Commercialization in India: Sectors Set to Benefit
India is growing fast with its buildings, infrastructure and its population. It is estimated that 70% of urban infrastructure for India, 2047 is yet to be built. Such a huge development requires energy to construct, operate and demolish. These energy extensive projects will have an exceedingly harmful impact on the non-renewable resources if alternatives are not developed in time. Although India is already developing energy generating infrastructure to align with its vision for a Net Zero country by 2050, the land resource required for such developments is massive and will be scarce in future. It is necessary to explore other potential areas which can be used to harness the solar energy to generate electricity. One such solution is the built-up area itself, by using BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaic). Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) refers to photovoltaic (PV) materials that are integrated into a building envelope, such as roofs, facades, windows, and s...
