Today's Market Perception is Hindering the Use of
BiPV:
— PV is unflexible in size, shape and material
— PV is not aesthetically appealing
— Customized PV is expensive

Conflict of Interests: BiPV Requirements and PV
Industry
Architect‘s requirements
- building approved components
- project-specific dimensions
- individual optical characteristics
- various integration options (mechanical, electrical)
- support during planning and tendering
- solutions within budget
PV module manufacturer requirements
- efficiency increase
- increased productivity via standardization
- no product variation
- cost reduction of material selection
