BAPV vs. BIPV Roof Mounting Systems: Key Differences

BAPV vs. BIPV Roof Mounting Systems: Key Differences
Feb 26, 2025

As sustainable architecture grows in popularity, photovoltaic (PV) roof systems are gaining more attention. Here's a quick comparison between BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) and BAPV (Building-Applied Photovoltaics), two popular solar roof mounting systems.

 

1. What are BIPV and BAPV?

BIPV roof mounting system: Solar panels are integrated into the roof structure, becoming part of the roof while offering protection and aesthetic value.

BAPV roof mounting system: Solar panels are mounted on top of the existing roof, serving as an additional energy solution without integrating into the roof structure.

 

2. Key Differences

 

Integration: BIPV seamlessly blends into the roof, while BAPV is mounted on top of the roof.

Installation: BIPV installation is more complex and costly, as it requires coordination with building design; BAPV is easier and more cost-effective.

Functionality: BIPV offers additional functions like waterproofing, while BAPV is focused solely on power generation.

 

3. Applications

 

BIPV: Ideal for new builds or large-scale renovations, where aesthetics and energy efficiency are priorities.

BAPV: Great for existing buildings, offering an easy and cost-effective solar solution.
