Comprehensive Review and Future Prospects of Encapsulation Technologies for Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Systems

Abstract

The incorporation of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) presents a viable solution to the challenge of balancing the reduction in building energy consumption with the growing demand for energy in buildings. This approach represents a significant future trend in the photovoltaic market. This paper provides a thorough review of the current state of encapsulation techniques for solar modules used in BIPV systems, both domestically and internationally. Additionally, it offers insights into the prospective developments in encapsulation technologies for solar cell modules within BIPV applications.
