Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar energy production via photovoltaic (PV) modules has received worldwide attention. Most OECD member countries, such as Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States, have actively constructed renewable energy power plants to replace traditional fossil-fuel-based power plants. Among multiple renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind, hydro, tidal, geothermal, and biomass), solar energy has been selected as the most popular because of its convenient installation process and management.
Nevertheless, electricity generation via PV modules is still expensive compared to electricity generation from fossil fuel sources such as coal, natural gas, petroleum, and other gases. Although many countries have provided renewable energy credits, it cannot be a permanent solution because of the limited budget issue. It is crucial to consider integrated photovoltaics that have multiple roles so that multiple advantages of PVs can be emphasized. This will result in renewable energy distribution. The goal of this Special Issue is to publish studies on building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) serving as not only electricity generators but also as exterior structures.
We are pleased to invite you to submit original research papers and critical review papers to a Special Issue of Energies on the topic of “Building Integrated Photovoltaics: Present and Future”. Studies with any techniques (e.g., field experiment, simulation, artificial intelligence) for better BIPVs will be considered in this Special Issue.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- BIPV foil;
- BIPV tile;
- Solar cell windows;
- Solar cell roof materials;
- Building attachments;
- BIPV tests;
- BIPV quality enhancement;
- Simulation modeling;
- Applications of artificial intelligence.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
