Expanding from Solar Rooftop to Building Integrated PV (BIPV) – Opportunities and Challenges in India
The high-impact roundtable on "Expanding from Solar Rooftop to Building Integrated PV (BIPV) – Opportunities and Challenges in India", organized by NSEFI and GIZ India under the Indo-German Solar Energy Partnership, brought together experts and policymakers to shape the future of BIPV in India.
With over 300 GW potential and 30-40% of India’s facades fit for solar, BIPV presents a transformative opportunity for India’s energy transition and urban growth. However, challenges such as knowledge gaps, cost sensitivity, and standardization remain.Key discussions focused on:
- Pilot projects & policy incentives to accelerate adoption
- Scalability & standardization for widespread implementation
- Innovative BIPV solutions driving technological advancements
In collaboration with GIZ India and Ornate Solar, NSEFI and participants delved into India’s roadmap for integrating BIPV into sustainable urban development.
