    Tak Seong-joo, senior researcher at Pohang Research Institute of Industrial Science and Technology, spoke at the ’13 Solar Power Market Insight (PVMI 2023)’ urban/building solar power policy and market trend session held at EXCO (CEO Lee Sang-gil) in Daegu on the 2023th. He gave a lecture on the topic of ‘technology diversification’. 

    Senior researcher Tak said, “BIPV is a future eco-friendly distributed power solution that combines building exterior materials and solar energy,” and added, “The possible installation capacity of domestic building-type solar power appears to be more than 70GW.” He added, “Building solar power will be able to cover about 2030% of the 14 greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal.” 

    Regarding measures to improve the acceptance of building-type solar power generation systems, he said, “Demands for aesthetics and improvement of power generation efficiency are increasing,” and “The color BIPV market must be expanded to improve acceptance among architects, building owners, and residents.” “I do,” he claimed. This is an analysis that power generation output and aesthetics can be improved through the application of specialized color pigments and micro-optical pattern technology. 

    Senior researcher Tak Seong-ju said, “There is no standardization, certification, or quality assurance related to BIPV. From the perspective of architectural designers, interest in BIPV application is still low. “The reality is that module manufacturers also have limitations in reducing sales costs with the customer-ordered, high-mix, small-volume production system,” he said. 

    Lastly, Senior Researcher Tak said, “We need to expand the BIPV distribution support project in terms of policy, and the market will grow if public-led policies mandating the introduction of new and renewable energy are implemented.” He added, “New technology and design are added, and we are moving toward a low-carbon emission society.” “If efforts continue, opportunities will come to the BIPV market,” he emphasized.
