One of the more promising renewable energy technologies is photovoltaic technology. Photovoltaic solar modules (PVS) can generate electricity directly from the sun on site without fear of energy supply or environmental damage. These solid-state devices simply generate electricity from sunlight, quietly, without maintenance, pollution, or material depletion. It is increasingly believed that distributed PV systems, which provide power at the point of use, will be the first to reach widespread commercialization. Chief among these distributed applications is photovoltaic power generation systems for individual buildings. Now more and more photovoltaic modules are being used in commercial buildings.
BIPV (English: Building integrated photovoltaics), Building integrated solar panel, is to integrate photovoltaic technology and building palisade structure. The photovoltaic modules have a building skin -- replacing the traditional building envelope material -- and have the dual function of generating electricity. By avoiding the cost of conventional materials, the incremental cost of PV is reduced and its life cycle cost is improved. That is, BIPV systems typically have a lower total cost than PV systems that require a separate, dedicated, installed system. Many

BIPV systems can either be connected to an existing utility grid or designed as stand-alone, off-grid systems. The benefits of producing electricity at the point of use include savings for utilities in losses associated with transmission and distribution (known as "grid support") and savings for consumers through peak-shaving (matching peak production with peak demand periods) to lower electricity bills. In addition, buildings that generate electricity from renewable sources can reduce the need for conventional utility generators, often reducing overall emissions of climate change gases.
The BIPV system mainly includes:
Solar photovoltaic modules: may be thin film (CIGS) or crystalline (monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon), transparent, translucent or opaque.
Charge controller for regulating power entering and leaving the battery repository (in a stand-alone system)
The power storage system, in the utility interactive system generally consists of the utility grid, in the independent system consists of a number of batteries.
Power conversion equipment, including inverters that convert the DC output of PV modules into an AC backup power source compatible with the public grid, such as a diesel generator (optional, usually used in a standalone system); and appropriate support and installation of hardware, wiring, and safe disconnections
