Two design choices compared:

  • Option A: Conventional façade + rooftop solar.
  • Option B: BIPV façade + rooftop solar.
Financial Analysis
  • Capital Cost: Option B cost 18% higher.
  • Annual Generation: Extra 450 MWh from façade.
  • Payback: 6.5 years for incremental cost.
  • IRR: 15% higher than Option A.
Additional Benifits
  • Green Certification Premium: Attracted top IT tenants at higher rents.
  • Operational Savings: Lower cooling costs due to insulated façade.
  • Carbon Credits & CSR Impact: Monetized sustainability efforts.
  • Government Incentives: Accelerated depreciation & green building subsidies.

Conclusion

BIPV delivers triple value: energy savings, property value enhancement, and sustainability recognition. It is a long-term financial asset, not just a building expense.
