BIPV market uptake has been hindered in the past years by the difficulties of the industry in providing holistic solutions complying with key demands from the market, such as aesthetics, flexibility of design and cost-effectiveness. In this sense, a joint industrial effort is crucial to conceive and develop highly efficient and multi-functional energy producing construction materials that enable boosting market opportunities at a world-wide level for the European photovoltaic and construction industry value chains. BIPVBOOST will address these challenges by implementing short and medium term cost reduction roadmaps along the BIPV value chain by means of flexible and automated BIPV manufacturing processes, and a large portfolio of multi-functional BIPV products.  Digitized processes along the value chain and advanced standardization activities support the qualification of BIPV systems for significant implementation in the building skin. BIPVBOOST is pursuing a 50% reduction of additional costs of BIPV modules in 2020 and a 75% reduction in 2030 to substantially increase the market deployment of BIPV
