Abstract

PV modules can be integrated into different parts of the building envelope, creating specific architectural systems. In this chapter different categories of BIPV systems are explored, including roof, façade and external devices. These categories require different technological ways of using PV in the envelope, which lead to different choices of the PV components and materials.
