India’s BIPV Potential: Unlocking 300 GW with Smart Policies & Innovation

With 300 GW potential and 30-40% of India’s building facades suitable for solar integration, Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is emerging as a key enabler of India's energy transition and urban growth. However, challenges such as knowledge gaps, cost sensitivity, and lack of standardization are slowing down mass adoption.

At the BIPV Roundtable, industry experts and policymakers, including GIZ, NSEFI, and Ornate Solar, engaged in discussions to chart a roadmap for accelerating BIPV deployment in India.

Key Takeaways from the Roundtable:

• Pilot Projects & Policy Incentives: Need for financial and regulatory support to drive early adoption.
• Scalability & Standardization: Creating uniform guidelines for seamless integration into India’s infrastructure.
• Innovative BIPV Solutions: Advancing next-gen materials and smart building technologies for efficiency and aesthetics.

With focused policy measures, R&D investments, and industry collaboration, BIPV can redefine India’s urban landscapes, making buildings energy self-sufficient while contributing to national renewable energy goals.
