“…So far about 85 % of the PV market concerns mono-and poly-crystalline silicon modules (mor p-Si) [1] and most of the researchers carried out studies on BIPVT systems by considering the same PV modules. An increase in building energy efficiency by using the PV modules integrated on an office building has been thoroughly investigated [2]. Similar research has been conducted showing a significant gain in energy efficiency [3].…”

Abstract. The study presents the effect of packing factor of Photovoltaic (PV) module on the room temperature, cell temperature and efficiency of a proposed Building Integrated Semi-transparent Photovoltaic Thermal (BiSPVT) and Building Integrated Opaque Photovoltaic Thermal (BiOPVT) systems with duct mounted on the roof of the building. Different PV materials like mono-crystalline silicon (m-Si), amorphous silicon (a-Si), poly-crystalline silicon (p-Si), cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium selenide (CIS) and hetero-junction with intrinsic thin layer (HIT) have been considered in the analysis under the cold climatic condition of India. Since Srinagar (India) has the cold climatic condition, therefore, its climatic data has been considered in the present analysis.

“…Based on physical theories and statistical data, Lodi et al [45] developed a heat-transfer mode of DSF BIPV using the gray-box modeling method. Zogou and Stapountzis [46] installed a DSF BIPV system on the south-facing facade of an office building and directed the channel flow heated by the DSF into indoor areas to warm and ventilate rooms; this design method is similar to that of BIPV/T systems, which will be discussed later.…”

“…The tilt-output relationship has notably been of special interest with regard to buildings-integrated PV panels, which includes the extreme case of vertical panels and the use of PV panels as shading devices extending at a tilt from a vertical surface [34][35][36]. Nevertheless, there seems to be a wide bandwidth of scholars' perception of the relationship.…”

The optimum inclination and orientation of fixed Photovoltaic (PV) panels has long been defined in terms of maximizing the annual electricity yield per capacity installed according to the hemisphere and latitude where the PV system is located. Such optimum setup would thus also maximize the output per system cost, but it would not maximize the output per unit of available area, and it would not necessarily optimize the contribution of photovoltaic electricity vis-à-vis overall electricity demand patterns. This study seeks to draw the attention of policy-makers to the fact that incentivizing lower-than-optimum PV panel tilt angles can be an inexpensive strategy to substantially increase the renewable electricity yield in a given area. It also discusses how such strategy can be incorporated into an overall supply/demand grid management and renewable energy integration plan.
