Abstract

Abstract: This paper reviews the present status and outlook of the building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market on a global and European scale. In particular, it provides a comprehensive review of the market situation and the future trends for Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands until the year 2020. In addition, as education is seen as one of the barriers for BIPV deployment, results of a survey are presented that was conducted among BIPV stakeholders with the aim to identify major knowledge gaps in education and target audiences as well as teaching goals. From that potential courses dedicated to the needs of each target audience related to BIPV can be developed.
