Comparison of Thin Film Modules Productivity for Building Integration

Abstract:

This paper compares thin film photovoltaic technologies’ productivity for different installation sites and surface positions. The aim is to guide architects to increase the energy yield during the design of buildings with integrated photovoltaic panels by providing information on the appropriate inclination and orientation of the panels. Meteorological data from ten sites from the Equator to the Arctic Circle are used. Two types of input solar radiation (extraterrestrial and real) are referenced, from horizontal to an arbitrary oriented surface, and are introduced in Durisch’s model to estimate the energy production for various surface inclinations and orientations. Thus 3D surfaces are obtained which allows the architects to choose an appropriate compromise between the aesthetic and the practical.
