Smart Building Integration Fuels North America BIPV Glass Market

Smart building integration refers to the incorporation of advanced technologies to create energy-efficient, automated, and responsive environments. In the context of BIPV glass, this involves the seamless integration of solar energy systems with the building's energy management systems. These integrated systems can monitor and optimize energy generation, storage, and consumption in real time. For instance, smart sensors and IoT devices can track sunlight intensity and adjust energy usage accordingly, while smart grids ensure efficient energy distribution. This integration not only enhances the building's energy efficiency but also supports sustainability by reducing reliance on nonrenewable energy sources.

North America BIPV Glass Market Overview

The North America BIPV glass market growth is driven by factors such as the growing adoption of BIPV glass in the construction of buildings owing to their advantages and the increasing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient buildings. The photovoltaic panels are designed to match existing architecture, which makes them an ideal option for historic or heritage buildings. BIPV modules also help reduce a building's energy consumption by generating solar energy. This helps reduce electricity costs and make buildings energy efficient. Moreover, various policies and incentives such as state mandates are booting the adoption of BIPV glasses from various applications in North America.

As of January 1, 2020, the California building code (California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6) needed all new construction homes to have solar panel technology. This change was brought about by the California Energy Commission, a key stakeholder in changing the California Code of Regulations to require residential solar power. In addition to new state-wide policies, there are a few local or city-wide policies. In New York City, in November 2019, local laws 92 and 94 (part of the Climate Mobilization Act) took effect, mandating that any roof undergoing major construction be covered in solar PV panels or a green roof system. These mandates positively impact the demand for BIPV glass in the region.

Players operating in the BIPV glass market in North America focus on adopting various strategies such as new product launches and capacity expansion. According to the news released by Solar Power World in April 2023, Mitrex (a Canadian solar company) intends to open a 2.5-GW solar panel factory in the US. The company currently operates a 500-MW plant in Toronto, Ontario that makes colored solar panels, BIPV cladding, and traditional solar panels, and it expects to begin production in the US location in Q1 2024. Such developments by the players operating in the market boost the BIPV glass market growth in North America.
