What are dual-use photovoltaic technologies?Dual-use photovoltaic (PV) technologies, also known as dual-use PV, are a type of PV application where the PV panels serve an additional function besides the generation of electricity..
What is a dual-use PV system?While the most prominent dual-use application is building-integrated PV (BIPV), other dual-use PV technologies include agrivoltaics, floating photovoltaics (FPV), and vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV)..
Is dual-use PV a viable option?Despite its benefits, dual use PV installation remains far below potential due to various barriers and insufficient legislation adaptation. This publication provides an overview of dual-use PV potential, applications, benefits, barriers, and policy. Read MoreDownload files
