The Characterisation of Photovoltaic-Integrated Building Facades Under Realistic Operating Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the results from a combined experimental and simulation analysis of a prototype photovoltaic facade when subjected to conditions typical of UK climate seasons. The departure of the electrical efficiency from peak published values is measured and the efficiency improvement associated with facade operation in combined power and heat recovery mode is estimated.
