GLEN ALLEN, Va. -- The market for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) will exceed $4 billion in revenues by 2013 and surpass $8 billion in 2015, according to a new report from a leading industry analyst firm.

NanoMarkets’ report, "Building Integrated Photovoltaics Markets: 2008," says that by 2013 there will be an installed capacity of 10.8 gigawatts peak of BIPV of which 4.6 gigawatts peak will come from Europe and 3.7 gigawatts peak will come from the U.S.  

About 7 gigawatts peak of total BIPV capacity by 2013 will be from residential applications, and rooftop installations are expected to continue to dominate the market with facade BIPV accounting for 1.1 gigawatts peak in five years, the report said.

The report also anticipates that much of the market growth will be generated by a new generation of BIPV products.

In examining opportunities for BIPV products over the next eight years, the report covers rooftop and facade systems in view of products available today and those under development by leading firms.  

NanoMarkets has published several reports related to organic, thin-film and printable electronics materials and applications. Its BIPV report, announced on July 21, is the latest in a series examining the emerging solar energy market.

This is wonderful news. I

This is wonderful news. I think this will become an increasingly larger market in the coming years. In fact, it could even become part of the next boom:

BIPV wanted - within six months

At 80 years old I can only build a house once in my lifetime. I am starting to excavate foundations for factory built waterproof basement in October. Can I buy BIPV roofing materials NOW or VERY SOON from anywhere in the world for delivery (at a sensible price) to Wimbledon in the UK. Architect design will also feature heat pump, LED lighting, induction cooking, oak parket floors with underfloor heating etc whatever is cutting edge for residential use.

I am an experienced and effective corporate ex sales Exec so I could help promote your product to encourage you to make an effort to supply. Responses welcome to edkal@sky.com

BIPV work study

Could you please inform me of cost, differences and incentives of different BIPV forms (Flat roofs, Pitched roofs Modules, Facades Modules, Glazing (Semi) transparent modules). Can I buy BIPV materials from anywhere in the world for delivery (at what price) to Beirut, Lebanon.
Thanks
