1. Key Advantages
✅ Space-Saving – Doubles as roofing/facade material without extra land use
✅ Aesthetic Appeal – Customizable colors, transparency and shapes for architectural integration
✅ Economic Benefits – Saves conventional construction costs while generating electricity
✅ Policy Support – Qualifies for green subsidies and meets building solar mandates (e.g., EU's 40% coverage rule)
✅ Durability – Weather-resistant designs last 25-30 years
2. Key Challenges
Higher Cost – 20-40% more expensive than standard PV systems
Installation Complexity – Requires precise architectural coordination and specialized maintenance
Efficiency Trade-off – Generates 10-20% less power due to fixed angles and light transmission needs
Adoption Barriers – Still gaining acceptance among builders and developers
