“…In Section 6, Figure 8, the excess energy available for the electricity grid is presented, at the approximate average value of 1030 kWh/month, equivalent to 58.79% of the total and Table 3 [21] reinforces the positive results in implantation of solar systems, including the simulated average values of energy generation and consumption in one year. The data allow showing the Pearson correlation, with r = 0.995, demonstrating a strong positive relationship between generated energy and surplus energy (energy produced minus consumed), which returns to the electricity grid.…”

The objective of this work is to identify the premises and strategies for the design of a zero-energy solar house and propose the systematization of its process. The focus of the application is on the single-family residential typology. The method consists of analyzing the whole process from the initial phase of the architecture project to the use of automation systems, aiming at the best use of solar energy in terms of sustainable development and high energy efficiency. Each phase of the process has significant importance in the performance of the residential unit, however, the influence that one phase has over another plays a fundamental role in the final result. The process of systematization encompasses all these phases, starting from the demands for energy in a solar house and introducing strategies to meet these demands. The prototype of the zero-energy solar house is used as an example of the application of this process for the development of a parametric solar house. The results show a strong positive correlation of linear dependence between the assumptions and strategies used in the architecture of the house and the solar system, allowing a conclusion of the dependence relation on sustainability, thermal comfort, visual and energy efficiency.

Photovoltaic (PV) cells convert solar energy into electricity is currently the cleanest and most economical way to generate electricity. Nevertheless, just a portion of the solar power can be transformed into electrical energy, while the remaining portion is converted into heat, leading to an increase in the temperature of the PV cells. The rise in temperature will not only cause a decrease in the electrical efficiency of PV cells, but it may also impact their lifespan. By placing phase change materials (PCMs) on the back of the PV cells, it is possible to decrease the temperature increase and enhance the electrical efficiency. The heat collected by PCMs can also be taken away using liquid cooling and put to use. In this paper, the classification, performance evaluation and composite modification technology of PCMs are introduced in detail. The practical application requirements of PCMs in thermal management of PV cells are discussed, and some new ideas of applying PCMs to PV cells are prospected. Moreover, the prior investigations regarding the incorporation of PCMs with PV systems and PV/T systems have also been compiled, encompassing the various research perspectives and methodologies employed. In addition, the possible development direction in the future is prospected.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
