Abstract Recently, the interest of energy saving building has increased due to government policy. Related studies about energy-saving buildings are being conducted. One of the subject is about light shelf system. Most of current light shelf system is designed as a flat surface. However, this flat design can not reflect the daylight deep into the room. In this study, a new split-light shelf system is proposed to get daylight deeper into the room. In addition, this study analyzes PV(Photovoltaic) power generation efficiency through PV integrated split-light shelf system. Verification of the proposed split-light shelf system was conducted with Relux lighting simulation program. Two cases were compared, a flat-light shelf system and a proposed split-light shelf system. As a result, a proposed split-light shelf system can get more daylight deeper into the room and higher PV power generation efficiency.
