Solar energy is one of the cleanest, environmentally friendly and abandoned available sources.
 While photovoltaic (PV) module converts this free in form electrical energy, the
 efficiency PV reduces as temperature rises above nominal value. The
 Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) system removes wasted thermal from surface which caused
 by reflection sun's irradiance stores it for u...

A key medium for energy generation globally is the solar energy. The present work evaluates challenges of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPVT) required various applications from techno-economic and environmental points view. Many are found applying photovoltaics (PVs) modules combined with building systems: supplying hot cold water ventilation residential non-residential building. Moreover,...

DEDICATION To my Mother, Father, and Sister v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisor Prof. Dimitrios Maroudas for his guidance throughout my graduate research. I could not resolve all the challenging problems without his patience, encouragement, and insightful advice. I would also like to thank my committee members Prof. Mountziaris, Prof. Ramasubramaniam, and Prof. Venkataraman. Thei...

The solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are facing serious problems due to unavoidable losses in their system, leads to more devation of output power from the input power level. This effect is known as a mismatch effect and is available in PV systems. Many losses are encountered in PV system and it is difficult to minimize such losses. In this paper, the influence of thermal effect on the solar PV ...
