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.
