To achieve a sustainable environment efficient use of energy is paramount. The buildingsector provide a great opportunity in this direction. Integration of photovoltaics (PV) intobuilding skin is an effective way of meeting the energy demand utilizing large unused façadespaces besides the roof space. Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) replacesconventional construction products and provide better building functionality like shading,heat gain, maintaining indoor temperature, improving aesthetics while simultaneouslyproducing electricity.The thesis aims to define and classify BIPV systems based on the application area in thebuilding along with their applicable standards and to develop a recommendation guidelinefor the use of these standards and regulations in Sweden. The agenda is to make it easier forstakeholders involved in a project to navigate through these complex standards and refer tothe standards as per their need and requirements.To achieve this, firstly a brief overview of the technology is presented which is followed bythe detailed classification of BIPV application areas. Here the systems are divided betweenroof mounted, façade mounted, and sun screening components and the integrationtechniques are also discussed. The barriers in BIPV implementation are listed andstakeholders are analyzed. The relevant stakeholders who can benefit from the guidelinesare identified (mainly the primary and secondary stakeholders) and the level of influence ofthe guidelines on them versus their interest in the project is compared.The BIPV regulations in Sweden are taken from Boverket’s database and tabulated. Also,requirements for BIPV standards are categorized. Using this information, the general,electrical, and building related requirements for BIPV are listed with applicable standardsfor each application area in the building (A to E). The results are presented separately forstandards applicable for BIPV modules and BIPV systems. The requirement categoryapplicable for desired stakeholders is also presented as part of the result.
