The report, Building-Integrated Photovoltaics Markets – 2012, revealed that the growth in BIPV market share will mostly be at the expense of conventional solar panels. Furthermore, 63% of total BIPV revenues are expected to come from new builds.

As reported by PV-Tech’s sister site Design Build Solar, a breakdown of the market shows that by 2015 revenues from BIPV roofing products will be worth US$2.5 billion, revenues from the BIPV walling market will be worth US$830 million and revenues generated from BIPV glass products are projected to be worth US$4.2 billion.

Factors driving the growth in the industry include greater availability of BIPV products and a move towards zero-energy buildings.
