Description
BIPV market Germany: building-integrated photovoltaics in MWp and forecast to 2031
How is the BIPV market in Germany developing? BIPV stands for building-integrated photovoltaics. The dataset quantifies installed capacity in MWp (megawatt peak) quarterly from Q1/2021 to Q4/2031 – as historical market data and forecast.
BIPV modules replace a component of the building envelope: in-roof modules set in trays or frames instead of roof covering, solar roof tiles in tile format and facade modules used as cladding. On-roof modules above existing covering belong to the pitched and flat roof datasets; solar carports, noise barriers and ground-mounted plants are excluded. In-roof systems suit new detached houses and re-roofed homes, facade modules offices and administrative buildings.
Integration happens in the same step as roofing, so demand depends on new build and roof renovation; new build carries the extra cost over on-roof systems more easily. Growth comes from rising demand for visually integrated solutions: heritage and townscape protection, design codes and architectural ambitions favour integrated over mounted modules, plus facade PV in non-residential buildings. Solar obligations are mostly met with on-roof modules. The segment recently grew despite falling new build. The end of fixed feed-in tariffs from 2027 mainly dampens voluntary re-roofing; afterwards, recovering roof renovation supports moderate growth.
Which questions about the BIPV market does the dataset answer?
- How has installed capacity of integrated modules developed since 2021?
- How is integrated PV capacity split between new build and renovation?
- How much weight do residential buildings carry versus non-residential?
- How do installations develop in 2027 and the following years to 2031?
Who is the dataset for?
Roof tile makers with solar ranges, in-roof and facade module suppliers and facade builders assess growth. Roofers and carpenters plan training and capacity; architects and facade planners use the series as a market picture. Investors and analysts follow a niche with its own trend.
Data basis and methodology
Figures distinguish new build from renovation and homes from non-residential buildings, with a market total. New build starts from completed and permitted floor area, renovation from roof area re-covered each year. Key ratios are module output per m² of floor or roof area and the share of area with integrated PV. The model was cross-checked against available market and industry data as well as internal data.
Delivered as CSV and Excel files, each in German and English, with 44 quarterly values. Related datasets: PV module pitched roof (on-roof), PV module flat roof, Solar thermal collector and all data on heating, ventilation, air conditioning and energy.
