What are dual-use photovoltaic technologies?Dual-use photovoltaic (PV) technologies, also known as dual-use PV, are a type of PV application where the PV panels serve an additional function besides the generation of electricity..
What is a dual-use PV system?While the most prominent dual-use application is building-integrated PV (BIPV), other dual-use PV technologies include agrivoltaics, floating photovoltaics (FPV), and vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV)..
Is dual-use PV a viable option?Despite its benefits, dual use PV installation remains far below potential due to various barriers and insufficient legislation adaptation. This publication provides an overview of dual-use PV potential, applications, benefits, barriers, and policy. Read MoreDownload files

Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196.
