Abstract
The deployment of photovoltaic (PV) systems is no longer limited to on-roof or on-land systems. In the past decades, many options for integration of PV in roofs, in agriculture, and on water bodies have been developed. However, with new PV technologies offering flexibility in size, shape and color, PV can be integrated in virtually everything. Hence, here we present an illustrative overview of those options, which we denote as the photovoltaics integration alphabet.
