Overview. Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are increasingly incorporated into new domestic and industrial buildings as a principal or ancillary source of electrical power, and are one of the fastest growing segments of the photovoltaic industry.. Typically, an array is incorporated into the roof or walls of a building and roof tiles with integrated PV cells can now be purchased.
A special class of BIPVs is represented by Building-Integrated Photovoltaic-Thermal (BIPV/T) devices, which are designed to produce both electricity and heat. Heat is usually employed for ventilation preheating through a transpired collector [124].

However, photovoltaic (PV) panels produce a substantial amount of heat, while generating power.
In addition, building orientation, roof pitch and the building materials are also been explored and optimised to provide the best combination. It has been observed that for both cases, BIPV increases the building's indoor air temperature by about 4 °C, when compare to a building of the same size without PV integrated.
This was done using a scientific mapping approach via the SciMAT tool to analyze the co-occurrence of terms through clustering techniques. The BIPV was integrated with the themes of buildings, investments, numerical models, office buildings, photovoltaic modules, roofs, solar cells and zero-energy buildings.
Consequently, BIPV's concept, where the photovoltaic (PV) panel is integrated on the building envelops has significant influence on the amount of heat transfer through the building fabrics, and could affect the indoor air temperatures and the comfort of the occupants, since, it changes the thermal resistance of the building envelops.
