The rising awareness of the adverse impact of using fossil fuels for power generation has influenced the adoption of alternative methods for power generation across the end-use sectors. This has influenced market players to increase their investment in strategic partnerships and product innovation & development. Major players operating in the market include Onyx Solar Group LLC., Heliatek, Saule Technologies, MetSolar, and ertex solartechnik GmbH. Meyer Burger, a Swiss PV module manufacturer, purchased the rights to expand its business offering to BIPV systems in October 2021. The company will engage in designing and manufacturing in-roof solar systems. At the smarter-E-Europe fair in 2021, they unveiled their first self-made solar tiles. The first client delivery is scheduled for the second part of 2022. True Metal Solutions (TMS), a building cladding fabricator, and NanoFlex Power Corporation (NFP), a developer of organic photovoltaic technology and high-efficiency photovoltaic power generation, formed a joint venture in January 2020 to develop the business for organic photovoltaic (OPV) thin-film material with cladding for building façades. In January 2022, Hevel Group, a Russian solar module and cell producer, launched a new building integrated photovoltaic product based on heterojunction technology. The BIPV product, according to the company, is made up of cells with efficiencies of up to 24.2%, which outperforms traditional monocrystalline and polycrystalline PV products. Rise in strategic partnerships between the major players and new product developments over the years are contributing to the growth of the Europe building integrated photovoltaics market.
