Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems contribute to buildings’ sustainability by reducing the need for electricity from the grid. However, the diffusion of PV systems installed in the built environment (BEPV) in Sweden has historically been slow ( Lindahl et al., 2021) and has therefore been subject to research.
New knowledge of solar PV systems as an innovation in professional construction is collected, enabling the adaptation of management strategies for its implementation. This knowledge can also be applied generally to other challenges encountered in highly systemic innovation implementation.
Several technologies are instrumental in the integration of solar energy into construction: 1. Solar Panels (Photovoltaic Cells): Photovoltaic (PV) cells, commonly known as solar panels, are perhaps the most recognizable solar technology.
Some scholars have studied PV as part of the construction industry ( Wong and Cronin, 2019; Curtius, 2018 ), identifying challenges due to a lack of BEPV standardization in the industry. However, there is a gap in studies addressing the specific process of implementing solar PV systems in the professional construction industry.
The building construction industry currently accounts for 40% of annual greenhouse gas emissions, due to its high carbon embodiment and carbonated energy demands. Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is a sustainable solution to address these concerns and to contribute to a net-positive world.
Smart building technologies enable the efficient management and utilisation of solar energy. These systems include energy management systems (EMS), automated shading, and energy-efficient lighting, among others. They optimise energy consumption and distribution within buildings.
