Why should a building use a BIPV solar PV module?

By considering BIPV application, it is indirectly equipping the building with multi capability, which is provide structural integrity, on-site energy production and enhancing self-consumption as the silicone based solar PV module is one of the best materials in providing solar shadings which directly cool down the building interior .

Why is the sitting of photovoltaic power facilities important?

The sitting of photovoltaic power facilities is important in order to maximize the potential of the PV technology im-plementation in reality. Any site selection and assessment procedure must address the technical, economic, social, and environmental aspects of the project to determine whether it is suitable for solar energy development.

What factors determine a feasible location of a photovoltaic system?

A feasible location of photovoltaic (PV) system must consider certain criteria including land restrictions, access to roads, and transmission lines. This study analyzed ten factors grouped into four categories: geographic, technical, economic, and flood susceptibility criterion.

How many efficiencies are available for PV module analysis?

Only 3 level of PV module efficiencies is available for analysis which are 16.0%, 18.6% and 20.4%. Hence, the software will be used as to estimate the potential PV energy production assuming the whole building surface area is covered with PV module.

What percentage of the study area is suitable for solar PV powerplant?

With the help of GIS tool, data obtained from several sources were analyzed through weighted overlay analysis. The result shows that 2.02% of the study area is suitable for the installation of solar PV powerplant. The suitable area is further divided in least suitable, marginally suitable moderately suitable, highly suitable, and and most suitable.

How to choose suitable locations for photovoltaic (P V) plants?

The selection of the most suitable locations for photovoltaic (P V) plants is a prior aim for the sector companies. Geographic information system (G I S) is a framework used for analysing the possibility of P V plants installation . With G I S tools the potential of solar power and the suitable locations for P V plants can be estimated.
