Energy has become an integral part of our life. The fossil fuel present in the environment is very much limited. On the other hand, fossil fuel emits harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), carbon monoxide, and others which harmed flora and fauna. Therefore, the concern for renewable energy application has become more vital due to the depletion of fossil fuels, rising global warming, and increased consumption of energy. Renewable energy aims to reduce pollution levels, enhancing the local economy and community sustainability. Solar energy is the most promising alternative energy source since it has various advantages over other renewable energy sources. The sun is an unquenchable source of energy capable of addressing all energy requirements of humankind. The solar energy concept has been around for a long time, and technological advancements will make it endure for a longer period. The PV-Effect is a mechanism that can produce an electric current when sunlight strikes the limiting layer of semiconductor materials. A photovoltaic (PV) system is a semiconductor device that produces electricity when exposed to luminosity. A PV module is made up of several solar cells that are coupled in parallel and series. This paper provides an extensive study of advancements in energy extraction techniques from a solar panel, analysing solar PV systems under diverse circumstances. PV technology is hastily evolving compared to alternative renewables, consequently leading to the Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) systems playing a significant role in the generation of electrical energy. BIPV system is a preferred choice as a building integrated solar energy storage system. It has been categorised into three subparts: Grid-connected BIPV system, BIPV system with a solar battery, and PV-Trombe wall. The BIPV mechanism simultaneously acts as a material for the envelope of the building and power extraction from. read more
