Governments perceive investing in green energy solutions as an opportunity to attain GHG reduction targets. Hence, over the past few years, authorities worldwide have employed various measures to stimulate the adoption of sustainable technologies, including BIPV modules, across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. For example:

As per the Indian Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) , the government has implemented the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for high-efficiency solar PV modules with an outlay of INR 24,000 crore, to achieve domestic manufacturing capacity of solar PV cells and modules.

In 2021, the German government amended the Renewable Energy Act by establishing grid priority to drive the onshore wind, solar PV, and biogas growth. The government proposed to increase its solar capacity installations to 100 GW by 2030.

The Chinese government also formulated a policy that requires all new buildings to conform to energy guidelines modeled after LEED specifications. This policy combines a recent initiative to reconstruct 50% of residential high-rise buildings. The country is anticipated to add more than 600 GW of solar power by 2030.

Reaping the benefits from such incentives, the industrial sector leads the BIPV market at 39.54%. However, over the forecast period 2023-2030, the commercial sector is expected to witness the fastest growth at 17.38%.

As per IEA, the global solar PV generation reached around 821 TWh in 2020, a whopping 23% increase from 2019. The energy association also stated that next to utility-scale deployment, distributed applications on buildings contribute to around 40% of PV use globally. In this regard, rooftop-based applications are alleviating the burden on the distribution grids, enabling companies and households to pay lesser energy bills while reducing emissions. Moreover, the cost of installing rooftop PV systems reached around $1 per watt. Hence, roofing captures the majority of the market share at 55.69% in terms of application.

China drives the global market, followed by the US, European nations, and Japan playing a major role. The rise in installations from around 19.4 GW in 2017 to 27.3 GW in 2021 was the key aspect that made China a leader in rooftop installations.
