Integration of solar photovoltaic systems into residential architecture: a bibliometric and practice-oriented analytical approach

Abstract

This article presents a combination of bibliometric analysis of scientific publications from 2010 to 2025 and a practical analysis of architectural and structural solutions for integrating solar photovoltaic systems (PV systems) into residential architecture. Based on the analysis of publication trends, leading authors, and key research topics, the main scientific trends in the field of BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) are identified. The practical section of the article explores architectural, structural, and regulatory aspects of design, as well as the challenges architects face when integrating PV systems into residential buildings. Specific architectural and regulatory recommendations are proposed to support the effective design of residential buildings with integrated photovoltaic systems, reduce technical barriers, and enhance the energy resilience of urban environments.
