Abstract:Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems are gaining global popularity as a means to reduce carbon emissions. The optimal implementation of BIPV requires consideration of various physical factors. One such factor is the temperature rise of the photovoltaic module, which can have detrimental effects, such as decreased power generation and thermal damage. The temperature rise is influenced not only by weather conditions, but also by the finishing characteristics of the building envelope, including the sur… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
