The building-integrated photovoltaics market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $68.12 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increase in high-efficiency thin-film and monocrystalline BIPV, rising adoption of AI-based solar monitoring, expansion in hybrid and organic photovoltaics, growth in smart building-integrated energy systems, increase in IoT-enabled energy management. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of bipv with smart building management systems, adoption of energy-efficient solar materials, implementation of IoT-enabled solar monitoring, expansion of multi-functional building facades, deployment of AI-optimized solar energy systems.

The anticipated increase in cost-saving construction projects is expected to drive the growth of the building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market in the future. This rise in cost-saving initiatives can be attributed to heightened economic uncertainties, intense competition, technology-driven efficiencies, and the demand for sustainability and responsible resource management in construction. BIPV systems help reduce long-term energy costs by generating renewable electricity on-site, improving energy efficiency, and utilizing incentives while seamlessly integrating with the building's design. For example, a report published by Upmetrics, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, states that the construction industry in the U.S. is valued at $1.8 trillion, while the global construction industry reached $8.9 trillion in 2023. Therefore, the increase in cost-saving construction projects will continue to contribute to the growth of the building-integrated photovoltaics market during the forecast period.

Key players in the global building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market are concentrating on technological innovations like HPBC cell technology to enhance energy efficiency, lower costs, and improve the aesthetic integration of solar panels into architectural designs. HPBC (High-Performance Back Contact) cell technology is a type of solar cell that employs a back contact design to enhance efficiency and minimize shading, resulting in better overall performance. For example, in September 2023, LONGI Green Energy Technology Co. Ltd., a solar module manufacturer based in China, launched a new generation of BIPV products called ROOF 4.0. The ROOF 4 is capable of generating an output of 580 W with an efficiency of up to 22.6%. This positions it as a leading choice in the BIPV market, especially for commercial and industrial applications.

In June 2025, Kameleon Solar, a Netherlands-based solar company, partnered with Nithin Sai Renewables Pvt. Ltd. to expand its BIPV solutions and boost the adoption of integrated solar technologies in India. This partnership aims to enhance the deployment of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), accelerate the uptake of innovative solar technologies, and promote sustainable, clean energy solutions across the Indian market. Nithin Sai Renewables Pvt. Ltd. is an India-based manufacturing company specializing in building-integrated photovoltaics.

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) refer to solar energy-generating products seamlessly integrated into the building envelope, serving as integral components such as facades, roofs, and windows. BIPV systems not only function as the exterior layer of the building structure but also generate power for on-site use or export to the grid. This dual-purpose system contributes to cost savings on materials and electricity, reduces pollution, and enhances the architectural appeal of a building. BIPV systems are typically integrated during the development phase of a new building or incorporated during the renovation of an existing structure when replacement of a specific building component is required.

The primary product types of building-integrated photovoltaics include polycrystalline, thin-film, and others. Thin-film products are characterized by very thin layers of photovoltaically active material applied to a glass or metal substrate using vacuum-deposition manufacturing techniques similar to those used in architectural glass coating. These BIPV applications cover roofs, facades, glass, and other components utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the building-integrated photovoltaics market in 2025.
