Abstrakt: Photovoltaics will play a key role in achieving the European goals against climate change by contributing significantly to the renewable energy portfolio. This contribution will be made through centralized and decentralized PV power plants, in some cases as ground-mounted systems but mainly through Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) systems. This paper quantifies the European potential of PV in the building environment, gives an overview of the current market and policy situation and presents some of the activities carried out by the European Project SUNRISE. Furthermore, it aims to provide an overview of the possible system applications and offers a wide range of functions that BIPV may fulfil as a building component. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
