BUILDING-INTEGRATED SOLAR SYSTEMS FOR INDEPENDENT ENERGY SUPPLY OF BUILDINGS

Abstract

This article proposes to apply active building-integrated solar systems for independent energy supply of buildings, their classification is presented. The classification of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technologies is carried out. The international qualified standards of BIPV systems are presented. International market and economic aspects of BIPV systems implementation are analyzed in the article. The methodology of calculation of solar radiation income on variously oriented surfaces in real cloudiness conditions is given. The software, which was developed in order to calculate solar radiation income on differently orientated inclined surfaces in real weather conditions, is described. Also paper contains calculations of solar radiation income on variously orientated surfaces and recommendations for optimal disposition of photovoltaic modules and solar thermal collectors.
