“…The numerical values given in the chart in individual months correspond to the set of photovoltaic panels at an angle 15°. If we want to use solar energy to obtain electricity or thermal energy, it is very important to find the optimal angle of the panels [23]. Maximum total radiation energy is the most frequently selected as a criterion for selecting the optimum angle.…”

Abstract:The article presents the use of photovoltaic installation in a building with office space and a section for kindergarten to support the production of electricity using solar energy. Accepted technological installation solution, capital expenditures to be incurred for the project and payback time are shown. Paper presents the results of the performance simulation of the PV system adopted depending on the angle of photovoltaic panels. Designed photovoltaic installation consists of 62 panels with a total nominal power of 15.5 kW. The use of photovoltaics in the facility allow reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by approximately 52%. In Poland, most of the electricity produced is still based on coal and lignite. Photovoltaics is one of the renewable sources of energy, so-called "Green" energy. The investment could be made thanks to the Regional Operational Programme Podlaski, Activity 5.2 Development of local infrastructure, environmental protection 2007-2013.

There is an expanding interest for the solar collectors, particularly the flat plate fluid one. In this way, an examination inquire about has been done to show the operation to be prepared in a solar tower plant and to anticipate the execution of various sort's solar systems. The Solar radiation beams are to be constantly engaged onto the absorber plate. The upper surface must be pivoted by trackers, which is exorbitant framework so we can't utilize this for each system monetarily. Because of this reason the solar arrays and collectors are sloped either month to month, regularly or yearly example, in view of our prerequisites. By utilizing MATLAB programming, examination of various solar radiation models indicates comes about close to genuine experimental setup. Keywords: Solar collector, optimal slope, declination, beam radiation. I. INTRODUCTIONBecause of natural issues and restricted non-renewable energy source assets, more consideration is being given to sustainable power sources. Energy is viewed as a noteworthy specialist in the era of riches and a significant factor in monetary improvement. Therefore it is highly pertinent to ensure a sustainable energy supply for human kind so that the future generation will benefit from energy utilization. Energy plays the most essential role in the economic growth, progress, and development, as well as security and poverty eradication of any nation. Future economic growth crucially depends on the long-term availability of energy from sources that are affordable, accessible, and environmentally friendly [1]. Due to the fast increase in the world population, the need for the energy increases rapidly.the combustion of fossil fuels for energy has caused a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, which is widely believed to be the primary cause of global warming. This has resulted in changes in sea levels, ecosystems and weather events, which have directly, affect people's health and way of life, as well as cause irreversible losses to plant and animal species [2]. Worldwide energy demand is escalated due to population and economic growth. As per the investigation done in energy outlook 2030 by bp global, the energy demand will increase by 36% between 2013 and 2030 provided there are continuous improvements in energy efficiency. Sustainable power sources have been essential for people since the start of human advancement. For a considerable length of time and from multiple points of view, biomass has been utilized for warming, cooking, steam rising, and power era, hydropower and twist vitality, for development and later for power generation. Sustainable power sources for the most part rely upon vitality courses through the earth's biological system from the insolation of the sun and the geothermal vitality of the earth. According to world energy outlook 2014 report nuclear power is one of the options that can contribute to the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, but the safety aspect of this source of energy in ter...

“…The third step is to calculate the uniformity ratio that generated by both sides of Folding wall-BIPV. The percentage of 80% is used as the standard of uniformity ratio (Mehleri, et al, 2010). The most optimum configuration is the configuration that has the highest percentage of fossil fuel electrical energy substitution and the highest percentage of uniformity ratio.…”
