NanoMarktets has listed the report at pre-publication pricing.

Glen Allen, VA (PRWEB) February 27, 2014

Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the addition of a new report to the firm’s schedule titled, “BIPV Glass Markets, 2014 & Beyond” (Nano-701) that the firm will release in March of 2014. The report continues the firm’s coverage of the BIPV market dating back to 2007. Details about the report are available at goo.gl/uSwSRs. The report is currently listed at pre-publication pricing on a limited time basis.

About the Report:

NanoMarkets latest report on BIPV glass analyzes future scenarios for BIPV. It includes a detailed eight-year market forecast with breakouts by type of building and PV technology and in both volume and value terms. We also discuss the BIPV glass strategies of leading glass and PV firms as well the community of firms whose core business is developing and installing BIPV glass.

One possible road to a larger addressable market for BIPV glass will be to use solution-processed PV layers and here the firm notes that both Pilkington and AGC are already actively involved in joint development projects that could do just that. With this in mind, the report examines how the economics of BIPV glass will evolve based on c-Si, thin-film, and DSC/OPV materials

This report also discusses how BIPV glass can better be sold to architects, who are sometimes skeptical of the BIPV glass concept, but remain the key decision makers on the demand side. In part this is about improved marketing. But as we discuss in this report, it is also a matter of playing up the aesthetic advantage of solar glass (for example with tinted and colored products) and by incorporating additional smart features such as hybrid light/photovoltaic capability.

This report is based around NanoMarkets ongoing program of publishing industry analyses of various segments of the BIPV market, an area in which we have been involved since 2007.
