The use of a photovoltaic system in a single family house in Poland - case study

Abstract

Renewable energy is becoming widely used all over the world nowadays. More single-family houses use such sources to generate heat and electricity. The article presents a case study of a house located in central Poland, in which a photovoltaic system was used, additionally with other renewable sources, such as a small wind turbine, biomass boiler and solar panels. The article describes the advantages of using renewable energy sources in the building sector considered and presents the results of experimental studies of electricity generation in a given period of time with their analysis. It turned out that the production of electricity using photovoltaic panels in autumn can support high electricity demand at this time.
