Simulation and Analysis of Building Integrated Photovoltaic System for Different Climate Zones in India

In the past, electricity use in the construction industry has risen to satisfy the demand and innovation techniques are being built to take advantage of renewable energy sources. The solar energy is the most available green energy supply. Renewable electricity options are the cleanest and decreasing greenhouse gases. Today, the innovative technique used by building designer is building integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV). BIPV is multifunctional components, they are not only use for energy production, and they also used as a cladding, shading devices, facades, and roofing element. BIPV system efficiency often depends on environment and regional conditions, such as solar irradiation, temperature, and altitude. This analyzes the impact of these climatic and geographic influences on the BIPV system. In this paper, six cities (Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Bhopal, Kolkata, Mount Abu, and Srinagar) from six Bansal and Minke climatic zones are selected and the efficiency of the BIPV system in six Indian climatic zones is evaluated by modeling and simulation by taking different parameters like latitude, a tilt angle, an azimuth angle, an environment and solar cell level. PVsyst 7.0 software is used for yearly energy yield calculations.
