Abstract:	Since January 1, 1997, Task 7 is active within IEA's PV Power Systems Program. Objective of Task 7 is to enhance the architectural quality, the technical quality and the economic viability of PV systems in the built environment and to assess and remove non-technical barriers for their introduction as an energy-significant option. Task 7 is an international collaborative programme, linking PV developments of Europe, the US, Japan and Australia to each other. The work in Task 7 concentrates on assisting the long-term development of building integrated PV, as well as on contributing to the short term marketing opportunities. During the first three years of the Task, the work has resulted in a number of deliverables. Most noteworthy are the PV Project Database, a BIPV product overview and the Task 7 Product Design Competition. This paper presents information about the various deliverables, as well as an outlook to new projects, which are planned by Task 7 for the next two years.
