Performance Analysis of BIPV Solar Panel Under the Effect of External Conditions

Abstract

In the present scenario, solar energy contributes maximum to the pool of renewable energy. The rate of consumption of energy is increasing day by day; therefore, the demand of energy is also increasing. To satisfy this increase in demand of energy, building integrated photovoltaic module (BIPV) system is one of the ways to satisfy the consumer demand by providing the energy according to the consumption, since the BIPV system is mainly affected by the outermost conditions the most, and therefore, in the present work, its performance is analyzed under the effect of external conditions. In this paper, the observations under different external conditions are taken which follow the effect of coal, dust, and shading as well as for the normal conditions. The results are then compared and are observed that the performance of BIPV solar panel is low under the effect of external conditions as compared to normal conditions.
