Solar photovoltaics is one of the most promising renewable energy
technologies, producing electricity on site directly from the solar
radiation without harming the environment and depletion of
materials. The Building Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal (BIPVT)
system is a technology which merges PV and thermal systems,
simultaneously providing both electric and thermal energy. Through
this combination more energy is generated per unit surface area in
comparison to the standalone photovoltaics system. Benefits of the
BIPVT system include significantly increased electrical
performance, faster payback than traditional systems, negligible
impact on the environment and the product is easier and less
expensive to install with low maintenance required. This book
describes the recent developments in PV technologies, solar
radiation available on the earth, various BIPVT systems and their
applications, energy and exergy analysis, carbondioxide migration
and credit earned, life cycle cost analysis and life cycle
conversion efficiency. Presently there is no single book which
covers all the basic and the advanced concepts related to the
implementation of solar energy for the passive heating and cooling
of the building. In addition to the basic concepts, the book
includes the technology advances, modelling and analysis and
ongoing research in the area of BIPVT. Key features of book
include: -Solar heating and cooling concepts -Thermal comfort
-Performance analysis of BIPVT system -Worldwide case studies
-Energy payback period -Techno-economics and sustainability of the
system The book, written by experts in the field with years of
research and teaching, is intended for the specialists, scientists
and people involved in research in the disciplines of renewable
energy, energy studies, building energy or carbon credit. For the
practicing professional, advanced senior or graduate student with
work experience, the book should be used as part of an integrative
program enabling them to make deep linkages and thus better
decisions in the professional world.
