| Abstract |
This study is on the analysis of power output of transparent thin-film PV windows which are integrated into the building envelope instead of traditional windows. 3 installation angles of vertical, horizontal and 30° inclination are investigated. To measure power output of PV windows, full scale mock-up house was designed and constructed. The power performance of PV window system was analyzed for horizontal angle, declination angle and vertical angle according to incline angle. Monitoring data are gathered from November 2006 to August 2007 and statistical analysis is performed to analysis a characteristics of power performance of transparent PV windows. Results show that annual power output of PV window with horizontal angle is 844.4kWh/kWp/year, declination angle 1,060kWh/kWp/year and vertical angle 431.6 kWh/kWp/year. |
