Against the background of actively promoting energy transition and addressing climate change globally, the promotion of urban BIPV in China is of great significance for achieving energy conservation and emission reduction and promoting sustainable economic development. This article analyzes the current situation of promoting urban BIPV in China, studies its various impacts on the environment and economy, and explores optimization paths. Research has shown that the promotion of BIPV has significant environmental benefits, such as reducing carbon emissions and minimizing environmental pollution. At the same time, it has significant economic benefits such as driving industrial development, creating employment opportunities, and reducing energy costs. However, key barriers to scalability remain, including high upfront costs, technological limitations in recycling, and regulatory uncertainties. Based on this, optimization paths are proposed from the perspectives of technological innovation, policy improvement, and market mechanism optimization, aiming to provide suggestions for the promotion of urban BIPV in China and help China achieve its dual carbon goals as soon as possible.
