Integrated Photovoltaics: Can Buildings and Railways help Power India?

How can India generate more clean energy without using more land? Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and Rail-Integrated Photovoltaics (RIPV) turn buildings and transport infrastructure into opportunities for solar power. In this video, discover how BIPV integrates solar technology into façades, roofs and other building elements, while RIPV explores solar energy generation along rail corridors and metro infrastructure. Together, these approaches can help make India’s infrastructure more sustainable and support the country’s clean energy transition. Watch to learn how integrated solar solutions can contribute to smarter, more sustainable cities and transport systems. The project is a public-private partnership with Ornate Solar under the develoPPP programme of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), implemented by GIZ India in close collaboration with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India.
