Abstract: . . .  DISTRIBUTION CODE National Technical Information Service U.S. Department of Commerce 5285 Port Royal Road Springfield, VA 22161 13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) This report identifies the economic parameters of building-integrated PV (BIPV) systems. The guidelines are structured in three major parts: the investment analysis (methods and ownership issues), benefits, and costs. Measurement and verification are also discussed briefly. The outline and evaluation of investment analysis methods showed their . . .

The costs of BIPV systems depend on the system technology, utility interconnection costs, labor and installation costs, associated costs for building permits, maintenance costs, costs for replacement and repair, and the salvage costs (or value). Each topic is addressed, and international examples are given for most. 15. NUMBER OF PAGES 14. SUBJECT TERMS photovoltaics; building-integrated PV systems; BIPV systems 17.

The outline and evaluation of investment analysis methods showed their effectiveness for BIPV systems. All investment methods can be used to evaluate BIPV economics (in relation to other techniques). However, for designing and sizing BIPV systems, either net present value or life cycle cost is recommended. The advantages of BIPV systems include multiple (building) functions, electricity benefits, grid-support . . .
