In the realities of modern Ukraine, it is very important to look for ways to save energy, improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption in buildings while maintaining a proper quality of life. The article provides a review on researches of solar photovoltaic panels integrated into window structures, i.e. ways of effective application of BIPV panels. Factors such as electricity generation, energy saving potential, and window transparency control are considered. The influence of these factors on the efficiency of translucent structures is analyzed. It is concluded that the integration of photovoltaic modules into the building facade modules is a promising direction; it makes sense to install windows with integrated photovoltaic modules when the window size is large, namely, when the window-wall area ratio is more than 30%. Darkening of the room when installing windows with translucent photovoltaic modules on the south side of buildings helps to increase the comfort of staff in office premises in summer. For widespread adoption of this technology, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of such BIPV modules. The introduction of this technology may be attractive for the reconstruction and restoration of buildings after a full-scale military invasion. Electricity produced by BIPV panels contributes to the autonomy and dispersion of power generation in the conditions of bombing of power facilities and blackouts of the martial law economy, and, subject to widespread use in the individual and private sector and the use of the benefits of the "green" tariff, is an economically attractive solution that enhances the country's energy security.
