Techno–Econo–Enviro Energy Analysis, Ranking and Optimization of Various Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Types in Different Climatic Regions of Iran

Iran is one of the most energy-consuming countries, especially in construction sector, and more than 40% its energy consumption sector. Therefore, considering very high potential field solar energy, need to pay attention providing part required by buildings seems necessary. The study effect climate on performance a BIPV has not been done so far. Also, use ranking methods using weighting parameters affecting purpose this investigate power supply connected grid eight climates Iran. Technical–economic–environmental analyses were performed HOMER 2.81 software. In order different types BIPV, four angles 0°, 30°, 60°, 90° considered for installation cells. effective output software weighted Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method based opinion experts, it was observed that payback time (year) highest weight among studied criteria. Then, cities ranked evaluation distance from average solution (EDAS) method. results showed Jask suitable Ramsar unsuitable city. EDAS confirmed Additive (ARAS), Weighted Aggregates Sum Product (WASPAS), Technique Order Preference Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods.
