Abstract

The present research emphasizes upon the utilization of alternative renewable energy sources, mainly solar energy, to fulfil the energy demand in buildings. The article includes a review of the literature on the kinds of field data required, parameters for energy-efficient structures, estimate of solar energy production on buildings, techno-economic analysis, and viability of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV). The team's results in both instances indicate that retrofitting BIPV in an existing structure is costlier than designing a building with BIPV in mind. In addition, BIPV modules offered great architectural shape and enhanced the building's overall aesthetics. The BIPV has been shown to be cost efficient since it not only generates energy but also reduces the cost of the construction materials it replaces. We estimate the payback period for BIPV to be 60-180 months, depending on the kind of connection, the quantity of energy replaced by BIPV, as well as existing government policies regarding incentives.
