Abstract
Accurate knowledge on the technical potential for Building Integrated PhotoVoltaics (BIPV) in the various member states of the
European Union is unavailable. To estimate the potential for BIPV we developed a method using readily available statistical data on
buildings from European databases. Based on country-specific data on building characteristics and irradiation we estimate the BIPV
technical potential in the EU-27 at 951 GWp. Installed it can deliver about 840 TWh of electricity, which is equivalent to more than
22% of the expected European 2030 annual electricity demand.
