“…Despite building-integrated photovoltaic offers additional surface area for energy generation, this technology has not been widely adopted due to its technological limitation and uncertain economic return ( Baljit et al, 2016 ). For example, shading on the building façade could significantly hinder the efficiency of building-integrated photovoltaic ( Zomer et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Among the largest energy consumers, buildings have historically been responsible for a large fraction of world consumption (GONZÁLEZ-MAHECHA et al, 2019;ZOMER et al, 2020), at approximately 40% (NEMATCHOUA; ASADI; REITER, 2020). and it is estimated that it will continue to increase in the coming decades (HARKOUSS;FARDOUN;BIWOLE, 2018).…”

“…In order to minimize this problem, the civil construction sector is looking for alternative sources of renewable energy, mainly from solar energy, to reach the level of zero energy consumption. Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV), converts the external structures of buildings into local power plants (FREITAS et al, 2020), is a technology that can be widely integrated into the urban environment (DÁVI et al, 2016), because in addition to Being a pollution-free and renewable energy generation technology, photovoltaic modules can be integrated into the architecture (ZOMER et al, 2020).…”

“…In this conception, when design strategies are used to reduce energy consumption and on-site renewable energy generators provide all energy needs, the building is called a net zero energy (NZE) or zero energy building (ZEB), and it is a typical case of power generation using photovoltaic technology (ZOMER et al, 2020), that is, offering conditions of internal comfort, as well as meeting other functionality requirements with the lowest possible energy consumption (FREITAS et al, 2020). Net zero energy or also net zero energy buildings (NZEB) was introduced to limit energy consumption and pollution emissions in buildings (HARKOUSS; FARDOUN;BIWOLE, 2018).…”

The objective of this study was to verify how photovoltaic solar energy in Brazil has been approached in the scientific literature. Therefore, searches were carried out in the ScienceDirect database, using the words "Brazilian and photovoltaic and energy" and limited by the type "review" and "research". A total of 160 articles were found, four were discarded, leaving 156 articles. Among the 156 articles, within the adopted classification, research was carried out on technologies and equipment; hybrid or complementary generation systems; power generation using buildings; laws, rules, regulations, tariffs; Marketplace; residential use of photovoltaic energy; comparison between energy sources; environmental impacts; education and training; and studies for a better location for the implementation of photovoltaic plants. What emerged from the research was the wide variety of topics, but especially the proposals for the use of photovoltaic solar energy sources, such as, for example, in hydroelectric power plant reservoirs and weirs; in the structure of commercial, residential, public buildings; on the roof of homes; hybrid systems associated with other sources, such as wind power; and in technology parks.

“…The first PV system is based on multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) PV modules; the other two, on CdTe, with one of them being coated with anti-reflexive coating (ARC). Braga et al, 5,6 Campos et al, 7 Nascimento et al, [8][9][10] and Zomer et al 11 have shown a performance advantage for CdTe over mc-Si in Brazilian warm and sunny climates. This performance advantage can be attributed to this technology's lower temperature coefficient on power and a blue-shifted spectral response.…”

The performance of three ground-mounted fixed-tilt photovoltaic (PV) systems installed at the Solar Energy Research Laboratory Fotovoltaica/UFSC in Florian opolis, southern Brazil (27 S, 48 W, Cfa Köppen-Geiger climate classification), were analyzed in this paper. This study compares the performance of cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film PV modules (both with and without an anti-reflective coating [ARC]) and multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) PV systems over two full years of continuous operation. Furthermore, the paper presents a literature review on previous studies that investigated the main environmental parameters that affect the performance of CdTe and m-Si PV systems. Results revealed that throughout the period analyzed, the CdTe with ARC PV system presented the best performance, with an overall annual energy yield 5% higher than the reference mc-Si PV system. In order to evaluate the performance behavior of the three PV systems under study, the main environmental parameters that affect the efficiency of PV systems were analyzed: temperature, spectrum, angle of incidence, weak-light responsivity, and soiling impact. Irradiation levels for all PV systems were identical, as they are all operating at the same site.Temperature followed by spectral content of sunlight presented the highest impacts on performance, resulting in estimated overall performance gains of 1.9% and 1.5%, respectively, for the CdTe systems. These findings are consistent with our previous research, showing that CdTe has a performance advantage over traditional monofacial crystalline silicon technologies in warm and sunny climates.
