BIPV Applications for Residences

Abstract

The mechanization emerged along with industrialization in recent years, , rapid development of technology and population increase from day to day is increasing the need for energy every day. Today, a large part of the energy needs are fulfilling such as coal, oil and fossil fuels. Seeking renewable energy sources eco-friendly has emerged reduction of existing fossil fuel resources and CO2 emissions of fossil fuel and disrupting the ecological balance for reasons. The sun is renewable energy sources that inexhaustible, abundant and pollute of any hazardous waste nature. Photovoltaic (PV) designed with the building envelope are active system which converts solar energy into electrical energy. In this study, PV and BIPV systems were investigated.

Key words: PV, BIPV, photovoltaic, energy
