Opis

This text aims to enable architects and engineers without specialist knowledge to begin to integrate photovoltaic systems into their designs. Details are provided on components, methods of integration into buildings, system design, and installation and maintenance. Methods of maximizing the overall solar contribution to a building are described, as well as how to integrate PV effectively with the building structure, how to optimize the economics, and the relationship of PV with other elements of a building's energy system. This handbook is intended as a design guide enabling building designers to make photovoltaics in buildings an architecturally appealing and energetically effective option. Recent achievements and advances are also incorporated into the text.
