Renewable Building Materials Could Power Homes, Slash Energy Costs
Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a way to generate renewable energy using solar panels integrated into buildings. Researchers studied how BIPV works and compared it to traditional solar panels on the ground. They found that using BIPV presents new challenges that need to be addressed. By using simulations and experiments, they learned more about how BIPV operates and its benefits for the environment.
