BIPVs tile product may cover the entire roof or selected parts of the roof building. They are normally arranged in BIPVs solar module with the appearance of standard roof tiles and substitute a certain number of traditional building roof tiles, thus also enabling easy retrofitting of building roofs.

When installing integrated photovoltaics on an exisiting building, the entire roof needs to be replaced. When installed on a new structure, the BIPV panels will replace the traditional tiles, which will lead to less money spent on the 'traditional roof', which will make investing in the BIPV panels more attractive.
