In 2016, Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) roofing accounted for just 1% of the overall PV market. Due to increasing demand, this was forecasted to rise steeply to 6.5% by 2022, but has since excelled all expectations and is now already at 6%, generating around 6 GW of power world-wide.

The 6 GW output equates to about 10 billion Euro yearly turnover – the global BIPV roofing market has grown from 1.5 billion Euros to 10 billion Euros in the last three years.
This trend is predicted to continue, driven by the demand for aesthetically pleasing, solar-roof integration. In addition, people will become more aware of the benefits of battery storage, the cost of batteries will continue to decrease, and €/Wp will improve with new advancements in solar technologies.
