A Holistic Approach for Design and Assessment of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics Systems

This article addresses the application of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems through analysis a case study with different operating conditions and geospatial locations. The research is carried out customer-made modules supported by computational aids. results obtained from real-life BIPV installation are contrasted, simulated, improved scenarios where aspects such as software deviation, shadowing influence, installed capacity, project profitability analyzed to establish viability pathways for projects. As result, most relevant factors improve technical economic system total capacity installed, use available area, strategic location avoid shading surfaces. In this way, work assessment implemented in real residential structure Colombia. proposed methodology includes simulations evaluate solar energy potential considering elements neighborhood aspects, wiring power interface, an economical find feasibility project, scenarios. important that affect operation under Colombian weather were identified: Such can then be considered early stage designing future applications.
