The future of BIPV

There is a huge gap to bridge between the current ecosystem and the one needed to address the potential of BIPV in ZEB.

2013: Niche Market driven by the desire to display environmental concern.

2020: (Mass ?) Market driven by the need to comply with ZEB codes. AGC - Glass products for BIPV applications - IMEC 07/03/2013
