PV모듈의 지붕 적용 유형 분류 및 특성 분석

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) is a photovoltaic (PV) technology which can be incorporated into the roofs and walls of both commercial and domestic buildings to provide a source of electricity. BIPV systems can operate as a multi-functional building components, which generates electricity and serves as part of building envelope. It can be regarded as a new architectural elements, adding to the building's aesthetics. Applying PV modules on roof has an advantage over wall applications as they seem to receive more solar radiation on PV modules. There are various types of PV applications on building roofs: attached, on-top and integrated. This paper describes the classification and characteristics of PV applications on roofs.
