Efficiency Analysis of BIPV Systems for Different Locations in Romania

Abstract The paper presents the analysis of the photovoltaic (PV)panels integrated into buildings. The study is realized for the same system placed in different locations, in a temperate zone, such as the climate of Romania. For all studied cases, the PV panels are examined for the same orientations in vertical and horizontal position. In these circumstances, when the panels are in a fixed position, the possibility of raising the efficiency is limited to controlling the operating temperature of the photovoltaic cells. The model and the functioning parameters are processed using TRNSYS software.
