1. Market Prospects and Characteristics of BIPV

According to the report, BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) is a solar photovoltaic power generation system designed, constructed, and installed simultaneously with buildings, combining power generation with wind resistance, waterproofing, and airtightness. Its market prospects are vast, with the global market size set to reach new heights. BIPV projects offer investment value, with an internal rate of return (IRR) ranging from 8.8% to 21.6% and a relatively short payback period. This indicates that BIPV possesses significant advantages in terms of economic viability and application potential.

2. Potential Applications of Helical Piles in BIPV

Helical piles, as a photovoltaic foundation structure, offer advantages such as ease of construction, adaptability to complex geological conditions, and environmental friendliness. In BIPV applications, helical piles may serve as a fixed foundation for photovoltaic modules, particularly in building-integrated scenarios such as rooftops and walls, where their ease of installation and adaptability could enhance construction efficiency. For example, spiral piles can be quickly installed on roofs or walls, minimizing disruption to building structures, thereby meeting BIPV requirements for building performance and aesthetic appeal.

3. Challenges and limitations

Although ground screw piles are widely used in photovoltaic engineering, BIPV has higher requirements for building integration, requiring a balance between building structure, electrical performance, aesthetics, and other aspects. The standardization and regulation of screw piles may still need to be further improved.

4. Future Outlook

With the development of the BIPV market, screw piles may gradually be applied as a foundation structure in BIPV, especially in scenarios such as rooftop photovoltaics and lightweight construction. In the future, it will be necessary to combine architectural structural design, material innovation (such as weather-resistant steel and lightweight design), and intelligent construction technology to further improve the applicability of screw piles in BIPV.
