Building-integrated photovoltaics are energy generating photovoltaic materials or components that are used to replace traditional building components or materials . They can be used in a wide range of applications such as ventilated facades, curtain walls, rooftop, canopies, windows and balconies.
The components of a building-integrated photovoltaic system include:
· Photovoltaic module
· Backup power supply system
· Charge controller
· Power storage system
· Support for wiring, hardware and safety disconnects
A PV module is created by a series of connected solar cells that provide standard output power. The PV module is encapsulated with tempered glass or other transparent material on the front surface, and with a protective and waterproof material on the back. The edges are sealed for weatherproofing, and there is a frame holding everything together in a mountable unit. In the back of the module, there is an electrical box, or wire leads, providing electrical connections. These panels are created to absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity. The electricity created from solar cells has become one of the most cost-efficient energy sources.
Solar PV modules have aluminum frames that are attached directly to the silicon. Solar panel framing plays a fundamental role in increasing mechanical strengths as well as making the installation process easier. It is important to know the different types of framing options, there is the full-frame, partial frame, and bifacial frame.
There are different types of panel technologies, offering varying levels of efficiency and reliability. The three most prevalent module types are monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin film. Each of these modules serves different purposes and needs, the graph below is a quick overview of each panel in comparison to one another.
In the world of energy, especially the solar market, Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) are rapidly becoming omnipresent and is widely used to replace conventional building materials in facade, roofs and skylights.The advantage of integrating BIPV into existing building materials is that
The solar BIPV modules are popular among architects, building consultants and planners to build more sustainable and eco-friendly buildings without compromising on architectural designs. BIPV has become one of the fastest growing segments of the photovoltaic industry. Among the several types of BIPV solar modules, the Double glass PV module series is the most widely used. It is available in different colours, dimensions, and shapes and is perfect for housing and commercial buildings as it provides the right amount of opaqueness.
As far as the efficiency factor is concerned, it is important to purchase a high-quality BIPV module that can perform well in all kinds of project requirements as well as low light conditions. Some exceptional solar BIPV modules can generate power as well as reduce heat loss. With the world moving towards greater environmental sustainability and eco-friendly products, it is necessary to re-evaluate our energy producing sources and the best way forward is the solar way.
