Guidelines for Building Integrated PV in India

India aims to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity and net-zero emissions by 2070, but limited land for large projects makes new solutions essential. Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), which embed solar panels into roofs, walls, and windows, allow buildings to generate clean power without extra space. As India’s cities expand rapidly, BIPV can make new and existing buildings more energy-efficient and sustainable. These Guidelines provide standard recommendations to support safe, efficient, and widespread use of BIPV in the country’s renewable energy transition.
