26th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4068-4072, The integration of Grid-Connected PV systems into buildings or public areas is one of the most usual applications of the photovoltaic solar energy in developed countries. Since early 2009, the University is working on an ambitious project, the so-called UNIVERSOL project, where its main goal is to convert the University Campus in a big public area which combines the PV electricity generation with the common uses of a university place. The aim of this paper is to show to the scientific community the main results of this project and that the methodology proposed for the “large urban-area photovoltaic potential” estimation can be easily exportable to other locations with similar characteristics, so the photovoltaic generators integration examples proposed in this project, and the software tools used to represent it, can be helpful for other designers, taking into account that this project has been adapted to the new Spanish legislation.

25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 5212-5216, The integration of grid-connected PV systems into buildings or public areas is one of the most usual applications of the photovoltaic solar energy in developed countries. The University of Jaén (Spain) is a pioneering public organism in the field of grid-connected PV systems, as it proves the milestones developed by its IDEA research group in the last decades. The University is working in an ambitious project, the so-called UNIVERSOL project, where the necessary tasks are being carried out in order to evaluate the “photovoltaic potential” of the Campus of the University. For the implementation of this project, there are participating diverse research groups from the University of Jaén, which gives the project a multidisciplinary character. The different tasks assigned in the Universol project will let us obtain a Large-Scale deployment of photovoltaic systems in building integration, so it will convert this Campus in a big public area which combines the PV electricity generation with the common uses of a university place.

24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference, 21-25 September 2009, Hamburg, Germany; 4218-4222, The integration of grid-connected PV systems into buildings or public areas is one of the most usual applications of the photovoltaic solar energy in developed countries. The University of Jaén (Spain) is a pioneering public organism in the field of grid-connected PV systems, as it proves the milestones developed by its IDEA research group in the last decades. Recently, the University has proposed an ambitious project, the so-called UNIVERSOL project, where the necessary tasks will be carried out in order to evaluate the “photovoltaic potential” of the Campus of the University. This project is the previous step to convert this Campus in a big public area which combines the PV electricity generation with the common uses of a university place, in other words, to create a mixed space where the generation of knowledge can be combined with the electricity generation
