Abstract

As India is moving towards industrial and urban development, the need for energy is growing with time. The conventional energy resources cannot fulfill these demands forever since they provide a certain finite energy demands. In such case thesolar energy can be considered as a potential source. The geographical location of India being close to the equator, the solar energy is available in abundance. Capturing the solar energy and converting into electrical will prove to be an efficient way toutilize the solar potential for fulfilling the growing demand for energy. Photo Voltaic Solar Panels located on terraces or open grounds are commonly used as solar capturing devices in India. The Building Integrated Photovoltaic panels (BIPV) is a step further which can also be used as outer envelope in buildings. This paper reviews the feasibility and suitability of the BIPV system to Indian construction industry and its future.
