A Full Year BIPV Case Study on Power Performance Research of Four Different PV Modules

27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3896-3900
The BIPV (Building integrated Photovoltaic system) case study has been analyzed the power performance on the four different types of PV module for the net zero energy research project in Hsinchu, Taiwan. This study used pvsys software to simulate the four different types of PV module and combined the real power performance on the different building surfaces. The total PV system capacities of the four different types of PV module were 8.04kWp, which had been installed on the roof, wall, windows and shading system. This paper used the DMY (Daily Mean Yields) and PR(Performance Ratio) to analysis the PV systems performance during full year research in June 2011. The DMY values at the roof, wall, windows and sun awning were 2.70, 0.92, 1.27, 1.86 (kWh/kWp/day) respectively. The System Performance Ratio at roof, wall, windows and sun awning were81.69%, 66.46%, 72.55%, 56.72% respectively. The total average error between the simulation by PVsys and the monitored of the PV power performance is around 0.76% to 11.16%.
