Mechanical Characteristics of BIPV Modules
Abstract
The penetration of the Building integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) still remains a small scale compared to the fast growing photovoltaic market. Significant obstacles are legal and administrative process as well as technical barriers. For instance, BIPV is currently not categorized in the building regulation lists, the link between PV- and construction sector is not clear enough and a lack of BIPV standards based on building product requirements are critical issues .
