“…A remaining question is the installation of PV panels on facades of multistory buildings. They are not yet economically feasible, as was calculated for a commercial building in the 10-to 20-story range (USA) [7] (p. 104).…”

“…One novel solution is a polymer-based system (DSSC-dye-sensitized solar cells) which has a 12.3% efficiency (as can been seen in [14] and [16] (pp. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]). Perovskite/Si tandem (monolithic) cells achieve a 29.1% energy yield [14].…”

“…In addition, they can characterize the architecture [26] (p. 106). Some authors considered sun-shade systems, in addition to roof and facade systems, as one of the three basic photovoltaic systems [7] (p. 8). PV panels as sun protective devices, if they are strategically located, and due to adequate shading analyses, can effectively fulfill this role.…”

“…This deals with the historical aspects of PV systems and contains a series of study cases. There are also some other published papers related to the issue [7][8][9][10][11][12], to mention a few, but none are of full practical use for architects. The purpose of this work is to enhance the knowledge of the designers of architecture by issuing a research-based study, which would encourage them to approach their creative activity in a less intuitive way, in terms of solar electricity generation.…”

The application of photovoltaic systems is becoming a dominant feature in contemporary buildings. They allow for the achievement of zero-energy constructions. However, the principles of this strategy are not yet sufficiently known among architects. The purpose of this study is to enhance their expertise, which cannot be widened due to the shortage of targeted publications. The issue presentation was structured in a way that follows the typical design stages, beginning with large-scale urban problems up to the scale of building forms and components. Different types of photovoltaic (PV) systems are considered, based on their efficiency, relations with building fabrics, potential for thermally protecting buildings and their impact on esthetic values. The focus was mainly on the most popular PV modules. The application of these systems requires in-depth analyses which should be carried out by designers at the initial stage and through the next stages of the design. A method to analyze zoning plan regulations and site planning in view of PV modules’ efficiency is novel. This paper also contains considerations with regard to some other untypical applications of these systems. There is need for changing attitudes in architects and investors regarding the issue of promoting the systems through further elucidations.

“…As reported by [17], BIPV panels cost slightly more than the conventional material that they replace, especially if they are deployed in the form of thin film technology. The cost of PV declines continuously, the conversion efficiency of cells increases constantly, and the forms of PV are increasing [3].…”

Recently photovoltaic (PV) is widely used technology in modern buildings as part of the façade. Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) might be transparent or opaque, mounted on the envelope or might be a construction element of the envelope-a window. Energy production and efficiency of 3 different BIPV systems is simulated and economical assessment of the projects is performed. It shows that attractive solution when energy is consumed for own purposes is opaque PV system and also one of the cases with PV window system. PV window is transmitting light into the space at the same time producing electricity and performing as shading of the window. Therefore PV window should be assessed taking into account more criteria than just electricity generated. The effect of PV shading on heating, cooling and lighting energy has to be taken into account. The paper presents analysis of overall performance of PV window based on the simulations and measurements. Results show that even though electricity generation of the window is relatively small, in summer it works as an efficient sun shading thus giving a potential for the reduction of investments for cooling equipment and savings on cooling energy demand.
