As the adverse effects of global climate change continue to escalate, the transition to renewable energy sources has become increasingly critical. Among renewable options, solar cell technology emerges as a leader owing to its versatility and efficiency. With buildings comprising a substantial part of urban areas, the integration of photovoltaics into architectural design is not just a possibility but a pressing necessity. Preliminary energy modeling serve as a vital tool in assessing a building's energy needs, thus optimizing cost and efficiency prior to actual installations. This paper explores advanced materials design for stable solar cell technology and performs an energy simulation for a Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) module. Beyond being a technological advancement, BIPV represents a harmonious integration between architectural aesthetics and sustainable energy production. By optimizing system configurations and considering external variables, BIPV offers a future where energy solutions are not just eco-friendly but are also customized to diverse applications.
