NanoMarkets Projects Building Integrated Photovoltaics Markets (BIPV) Reaching $7.5 billion in 2015

NanoMarkets today published its latest BIPV projections in a report titled, “Building-Integrated Photovoltaics Markets – 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – October 24, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today published its latest BIPV projections in a report titled, “Building-Integrated Photovoltaics Markets – 2012.” NanoMarkets estimates that the entire BIPV market already generates around $2.1 billion ($US) today and that this figure will grow to $7.5 billion by 2015. Much of this growth will come at the expense of conventional solar panels as the better economics and aesthetics of BIPV make their impact on end users. NanoMarkets also expects new builds to contribute 63 percent of all BIPV revenues in 2015.

About the Report:

This report provides highly granular eight-year forecast of the worldwide BIPV market with breakouts for PV roofing overlays, BIPV tiles and shingles, wall-attached BIPV, BIPV siding, BIPV curtain walls, BIPV/window hybrids and futuristic monolithically integrated BIPV products. The projections are presented in both value ($ millions) and volume (MW and area covered).

Additional breakouts are provided for types of building in which BIPV is installed (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.), whether the BIPV installation is a retrofit or a new build, and the type of absorber material it uses. In addition, we project the nations and regions that will generate the most BIPV revenues; NanoMarkets expects Europe to be the largest market for BIPV throughout the period covered in these forecasts.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/building_integrated_photovoltaics_markets_2012

More from the report:

According to this new NanoMarkets report, the market for BIPV roofing products will reach $2.5 billion by 2015; a four-fold increase in revenues compared to 2012. But, NanoMarkets says there will be a profound change in how the BIPV revenues are generated over this relatively short period. Today almost 80 percent of the dollars from BIPV roofing comes from simple BIPV overlay products. By 2015, NanoMarkets foresees that specialized BIPV tiles and shingles will have become widely available offering much better value propositions than any current BIPV products; As a result, these BIPV tiles and shingles will account for 60 percent of BIPV roofing product revenues.

The report also provides projections for BIPV walling, a sector that has barely been touched by BIPV today. Despite this, NanoMarkets foresees this sector taking off in the next few years as zero-energy buildings and multistory office buildings find that roof-based PV is not capable of generating sufficient power for their needs. According to NanoMarkets’ projections, this could lead to an $830 million market for wall-based BIPV by 2015. However, NanoMarkets thinks that specialized wall-based BIPV products will be slow to take off and 62 percent of the revenues in the wall sector will come from existing products that have been “versioned” for a walling market.

Although BIPV glass sales are expected to reach $4.2 billion by 2015, NanoMarkets believes that much of this relatively large figure will be generated by the high-cost of the architectural glass that underpins BIPV glass. However, NanoMarkets believes that there are good opportunities in the glass sector for monolithically integrating PV and building fabric functionalities and projects that by 2015, $375 million will be generated by fully integrated BIPV glass products.

NanoMarkets Announces Latest Report on BIPV Products for Walls

NanoMarkets has begun shipping its latest report on the building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market titled, “BIPV Wall Markets – 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – September 6, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets has begun shipping its latest report on the building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) market titled, “BIPV Wall Markets – 2012.” This report quantifies the potential for wall-attached PV, repurposed BIPV roofing products, BIPV curtain walls and dedicated BIPV siding. It also discusses future directions for BIPV walling; from integrations with outdoor panel lighting to “solar paint.” Although negligible today, NanoMarkets sees the BIPV walling market exceeding $1.5 billion ($US) in revenues by 2016.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/bipv_wall_markets_2012

NanoMarkets has covered the BIPV market for more than six years; it recently published penetrating analyses of both the BIPV glass and BIPV roofing markets as well as BIPV substrates and encapsulation.

About the Report:

In this report, NanoMarkets identifies the opportunities from the fastest growing segment of BIPV; BIPV walling products. For each product type this report contains separate eight-year forecasts with breakouts by value ($ millions), volume (MW) and PV technology. Other forecasts show which types of buildings and which geographical regions will generate revenues and how this will change over time.

Among the firms discussed within the report include: BISEM, Dow Chemical, Evonik, Gloria Solar, Guardian Industries, Heliatek, Mage Sunovation, Onyx Solar, Pythagoras, RECKLI, Soladigm, Solar-Wall, Sol-Ice and Tata Steel.

Findings from the Report:

In terms of products specifically designed for BIPV walling, the most developed are BIPV curtain walls; a small niche today, although it will grow to reach around $250 million by 2016. For the next few years most of the revenues from “BIPV walls” will come from conventional PV panels disguised by architectural features or from “repurposed” BIPV roofing. Nonetheless, NanoMarkets expects solar panel makers, outdoor wall product firms and start-ups to catch onto the BIPV wall opportunity quite quickly and to respond by designing dedicated products for BIPV walls. These might be products that can be easily attached to walls or that are plug-in replacements for popular siding or wall tiling options. NanoMarkets believes that dedicated BIPV siding products will exceed $1 billion in sales by the 2016-2017 period although these sales will come at the expense of conventional solar panels and walling products. NanoMarkets also notes that BIPV siding is an easier business to get into than BIPV roofing, because required product lifetime requirements are much lower for siding than roofing.

The advent of dedicated BIPV walling products is also good news for firms making flexible solar panels with CIGS and OPV/DSC technologies. Flexible panels are inherently lightweight and therefore ideally suited to wall installations. These technologies also have a smaller reduction in cell performance under indirect or shaded illumination and this again makes them highly suited to wall installations. Many of the suppliers of these types of PV panels have targeted BIPV walling and by 2016, almost 40 percent of BIPV wall products are expected to be built using CIGS or OPV/DSC.

NanoMarkets Announces Upcoming Report on BIPV Wall and Siding Markets Coming in September of 2012

NanoMarkets today announced that it will publish a new report in September of this year titled, “BIPV Wall Markets – 2012.”

Glen Allen, Virginia – August 17, 2012 — Industry Analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced that it will publish a new report in September of this year titled, “BIPV Wall Markets – 2012.” In this report, NanoMarkets identifies the business opportunities that will be generated over the coming decade from embedding photovoltaic capabilities into walling products of various kinds. The report follows previous releases from NanoMarkets related to building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) glass, roofing and substrates and encapsulation.

Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/bipv_wall_markets_2012

More about the report:

This report forecasts the new revenues that will be generated from wall-attached PV, roofing BIPV products used on walls, dedicated BIPV siding products and BIPV curtain walls. It also examines the commercial potential of more futuristic products such as solar paints and panels that combine PV and lighting.

NanoMarkets believes that the BIPV walling market is being generated by the growth in the number of buildings where energy requirements cannot be met by rooftop solar panels alone. This is often the case with multistory buildings that have relatively small roof spaces that are clogged up with HVAC and water system equipment. In addition, zero-energy buildings have energy generation needs that rooftop panels are not sufficient to meet.

This report explains where the initial revenues for BIPV walling will be generated and how the supply chains will evolve to meet the needs of this new sector. In addition, the report discusses which types of PV technology are best suited for walling products and how the panel makers can best take advantage of the BIPV walling market. The report also includes granular eight-year forecasts of the BIPV wall market with breakouts by volume (MW) and value ($ millions), as well analysis of the strategies of major firms active in this market.

The firm has also announced that it will be releasing a report on the BIP encapsulation market in May and has also released a related report on BIPV glass market in February of this year. Information about these reports is also available on the NanoMarkets website at http://www.nanomarkets.net.

About the Report:

BIPV offers both the PV industry and the building products industry a way out of their current economic plights. For PV firms, BIPV provides a product strategy geared to adding value to products. For the building products industry, BIPV represents a new line of products that will enable construction firms to add saleable features to buildings of all kinds.

While all this is true of all BIPV products, there is a natural migration path from today’s rooftop PV panels to BIPV roofing. With this in mind, NanoMarkets is publishing this report, which identifies and quantifies the market opportunities for BIPV roofing.

The report discusses a roadmap for BIPV roofing in which business revenues are generated initially by simple overlay products and then by conventional rigid and flexible BIPV roofing products and finally from fully integrated products. The report also shows how the performance of BIPV roofing is expected to evolve with a special focus on lifetime requirements and the materials that will be used both for substrates and absorber layers.

This report also includes extensive forecasts of the BIPV roofing market in terms of wattage, area covered and revenues generated. Breakouts are provided by type of building, type of BIPV roofing and key materials used. In addition, we project the nations and regions that will generate the most revenues for BIPV roofing and the breakouts of the BIPV roofing market by retrofit and new construction. As usual with NanoMarkets reports, this report also includes a detailed assessment of the strategies of the leading firms currently supplying BIPV roofing products.
