Investigation of the effect temperature on the performance of the photovoltaic solar design for the western region of Paraná-Brazil

Abstract

This paper show on impact of temperature decrease applied in Building Integrate Photovoltaics (BIPV) dimensioned on a photovoltaic solar tile with a superimposed photovoltaic arrangement model, in conditions of simulation of Standard Test Conditions for 1000 W/m2 irradiation, for maximum and minimum summer temperatures of Foz do Iguaçu city during 2017-2018. The simulation (Comsol Multiphysics®) uses different types for material tiles (concrete, polypropylene and PVC) and compares the system considering the influence of the materials in the civil-structural characteristics of the roof. The results showed that the efficiency behavior with temperature variations, produce a decrease of linear efficiency. While the, tile designs proposal has a 16% efficiency value in the datasheet in the same conditions. The results shows a decrease of efficiency and power with the increase temperature in the same conditions of the study, obtaining the respectively value of 0.05%/°C and 0.24%/°C.
