Transparent Solar & Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)
Facades and windows that generate electricity while maintaining daylight and views.
Perovskite and organic PV cells can be tuned for partial transparency, enabling power generation from glazing. Combined with spandrel, curtain-wall, and roofing BIPV, buildings become distributed energy assets. Adoption depends on cost parity, durability, and grid integration, with strong momentum in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
