“…Under low solar radiation levels, for example, a PV array generates power at only part of its rated power and consequently the inverter operates under part load conditions with lower system efficiency. On the other hand, under overloading condition, excess PV output power which is greater than the inverter rated capacity is lost [5]. Many other authors has studied the effect of inverter's size on PV system overall efficiency and recommended some optimization practices.…”

“…Meanwhile, system simulation-based technical, environmental, and economic evaluations of building-integrated PV systems have been conducted using modeling of a local distribution network at in Petaling Jaya at Selangor, Malaysia [5]. Later, in 2009, an evaluation of a hybrid PV system is conducted [6].…”

“…As a kind of new energy, solar energy is the most abundant and inexhaustible, so several policies have been proposed by the Chinese government, such as the plan of the solar roof of buildings [6]. However, in modern urban cities, most buildings are high-rise and the roof area would be very limited for stand-alone PV system installation [7]. So the integration of PV systems into buildings becomes an imperative [8].…”

A 120 kWp building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system was installed on the south facade of the Solar Energy Research Institute building in Yunnan Normal University. The area of the curtain wall was 1560 m 2 (26 m × 60 m), which consisted of 720 semitransparent monocrystalline silicon double-glazing PV panels. This paper studied the yearly and monthly variations of power generation in terms of solar data and meteorological parameters. The total amount of power generation of the BIPV system measured from October 2014 to September 2015 was 64.607 MWh, and the simulation results with TRNSYS (Transient Systems Simulation Program) provided the 75.515 MWh predicted value of annual electricity production with the meteorological database of Meteonorm, while, based on the average value of the performance ratio (PR) of 60% and the life cycle assessment (LCA) of the system, the energy payback time (EPBT) of 9.38 years and the potential for pollutant emission reductions have been evaluated and the environmental cost is RMB ¥0.01053 per kWh. Finally, an economic analysis was carried out; the net present value (NPV) and the economic payback time of the BIPV system were estimated to be RMB ¥359,347 and 15 years, respectively.

“…Photovoltaic potential is often assessed by technological or economical evaluation (Fath et al, 2015;Lang, Ammann, & Girod, 2016;Mondal & Islam, 2011;El-Shimy, 2009;Seng, Lalchand, & Lin, 2008). The potential has been evaluated by photovoltaic energy generation based on total annual solar radiation (Hofierka & Kaňuk, 2009;Lukač et al, 2014), surfaces for calculation predictions have mostly been limited only to roof implementation, and results generally displayed as numbers or diagrams (Matrawy, Mahrous, & Youssef, 2015).…”

Abstract:Photovoltaic (PV) installation potential on residential building envelope in equatorial region was analysed by 3D insolation colour rendering employing BIM Revit solar analysis tool. Monthly global solar radiation calculation was employed to investigate solar potential in study case area. Actual energy consumption of residential sector was used as a base to predict energy demand for next 10 years. Predicted energy demand was then used to calculate the area needed for photovoltaic installation to balance future energy demand. The energy consumption by residential building was divided into five different installed electrical power capacities namely 450 Watt, 900 Watt, 1300 Watt, 2200 Watt and 3500-6600 Watt. Study results suggest that the potential location of photovoltaic panel installation on detached houses is on the roof, East, and West walls. Abundant solar energy in equatorial region was proved by high potential of PV energy generation 7 -9 kW/m² for amorphous silicon, 17 -18 kW/m² for polycrystalline silicon, and 19 -23 kW/m² for monocrystalline silicon. The roof element alone can provide sufficient electrical energy generated by installed photovoltaic panels for the next 10 years. The area needed to supply 450W -6600W installed power capacity were 13 -75 m² for monocrystalline silicon, 23 -120 m² for polycrystalline silicon, and 50 -259 m² for amorphous silicon. To conclude, implementation of photovoltaic installations on residential buildings have a huge potential to secure not only recent energy consumption, but also future energy demand.
