Abstract:Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) offer an aesthetical, economical and technical solution to integrate solar cells harvesting solar radiation to produce electricity within the climate envelopes of buildings. Photovoltaic (PV) cells may be mounted above or onto the existing or traditional roofing or wall systems. However, BIPV systems replace the outer building envelope skin, i.e., the climate screen, hence serving simultanously as both a climate screen and a power source generating electricity. Thus, BIPV may provide savings in materials and labor, in addition to reducing the electricity costs. Hence, for the BIPV products, in addition to specific requirements put on the solar cell technology, it is of major importance to have satisfactory or strict requirements of rain tightness and durability, where building physical issues like e.g., heat and moisture transport in the building envelope also have to be considered and accounted for. This work, from both a technological and scientific point of view, summarizes briefly the current state-of-the-art of BIPV, including both BIPV foil, tiles, modules and solar cell glazing products, and addresses possible research pathways for BIPV in the years to come.

“…To get jointly a significant parameters and less time computation, we will base on the one diode model, presented in Fig. 1 and described by (1).This model is characterized by five unknown parameters : I ph (light or photo-generated current) represents the charge carrier generation in the semiconductor layer of the PV cell caused by the incident radiation, R sh (parallel, R p ; or shunt resistance) expresses the losses due to the high-current path through the semiconductor throughout the mechanical defects and the leakage current to the ground, R s (series resistance) represents the internal losses due to current flow and the connection between cells, I 0 (diode's reverse-bias saturation current) and (diode ideality factor). where, (thermal module voltage= , (Boltzman's constant = J/K), T (cells temperature, q (electron charge = C), Ns (solar cell number in series) are known parameters.…”

BIPV systems are usually small-medium PV systems spread out over the territory, and whose technical and installation characteristics can be very different. This makes difficult a cost-effective procedure for monitoring and diagnostics. As a consequence, many problems affecting BIPV systems go undetected. In order to carry out an effective automatic fault detection procedures, we need a software tool that is reliable, cost effective and that can be applied on many PV systems. To reduce the probability of happening of such events, a fault diagnosis is an important tool at least to detect and prevent the critical defects. The well-known equivalent circuit one diode model will be used to develop a PV emulator by means of a new metaheuristical technique called ABC-DE either at normal or abnormal operating conditions to remove the damaging cells scenario at the investigation moment under artificial defects creation. After the emulator experimental validation a fault diagnosis technique is introduced to detect and to identify certain defects based on the power losses and the parameters extracted from ABC-DE technique selected on a reference table.
