This study investigates the incorporation of thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) technologies in building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) and their contribution to sustainable architecture. The research focuses on three key TFPV materials: amorphous silicon (a-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS), examining composition, efficiency, BIPV applications. Recent advancements have yielded impressive results, with CdTe CIGS achieving laboratory efficiencies 22.10% 23.35%, respectively. also explores implementation building energy management systems (BEMS) for optimizing use BIPV-equipped buildings. Financial analysis indicates that despite 10.00–30.00% higher initial costs compared conventional materials, can generate 50–150 kWh/m2 annually, simple payback periods 5–15 years. emphasizes role government incentives innovative financing promoting adoption. As technology progresses, it offers a promising solution transforming buildings from consumers producers, significantly contributing urban development climate change mitigation.
