Photovoltaic(PV) based electricity production is pollution-free at the local as well as the global level, it does not emit greenhouse gases, it dose not dip into finite file resources and it can be easily integrated into the urban environment, close to major consumption needs. So BIPV(Building-Integrated Photovoltaics) system have been increased around the world. This paper presents measuring and analyzing performance of balcony BIPV system which have been installed and monitoring. The system is influenced by conditions such as irradiation, module temperature, shade and architectural component etc. By the results, it is very important to develop optimal design for the balcony PV system.

The application of photovoltaics into building as integrated building components has been paid more attention worldwide. Photovoltaics or solar electric modules are sol id state devices, directly converting solar radiation into electricity; the process does not require fuel and any moving parts, and produce no pollutants. And the prefab building method is very effective because the pre- manufactured building components is simply assembled to making up buildings in the construction fields especially the sandwich panel. So, this paper describes a design and performance test of the 10kW poly metal pv module(pmpp) system. It is concluded that the prediction of BIPV system's performance should be based on the more accurate PV module installation.

Purpose: This study was on the economic feasibility of BIPV system, focused on comparison with construction cost of BAPV system depend on roof finishing materials, and to suggest basic data on the construction cost. Method: Construction cost of BAPV system was calculated, by selecting asphalt single, flat type roof tile, color steel plate, titanium zinc plate as roof finishing material of residential building and by sum up each cost for roof finishing construction and cost for 3kWp-volumed PV module installation. Also, the economic feasibility was analysed quantitatively by comparing the cost for BIPV system construction, installing same volumed PV module instead of roof finishing materials. Result: 1. By installing BIPV system instead of the roof finishing material, the cost of construction falls ; about 19% in case of the titanium zinc plate, which is the most expensive, and about 11% in case of the color steel plate. 2. Reducing amount of the construction cost gets larger because of installing BIPV module instead of the roof finishing material, as the construction cost for roof finishing material gets higher ; therefore, it is more economical than BAPV system in terms of whole cost of construction.

Korea has been at the forefront of green growth initiatives. In 2008, the government declared the new vision toward 'low-carbon society and green growth'. The government subsidies and Feed-in Tariff (FIT) increased domestic usage of solar power by supplying photovoltaic housing and photovoltaic generation systems. Since 2000, solar power industry has been the world's fastest growing source with the annual growth rate of 52.5%. Especially, BIPV(Building Integrated Photovoltaic) systems are capturing a growing portion of the renewable energy market due to several reasons. BIPV consists of photovoltaic cells and modules integrated into the building envelope such as a roof or facades. By avoiding the cost of conventional materials, the incremental cost of photovoltaics is reduced and its life-cycle cost is improved. When it comes to atypical building, numerous problems occur because PV modules are flat, stationary, and have its orientation determined by building surface. However, previous studies mainly focused on improving installations of solar PV technologies on ground and rooftop photovoltaic array and developing prediction model to estimate the amount of produced electricity. Consequently, this paper discusses the problem during a planning and design stage of BIPV systems and suggests the method to select optimal design of the systems by applying the national strategy and economic policies. Furthermore, the paper aims to develop BIM tool based on the engineering knowledge from experts in order for non-specialists to design photovoltaic generation systems easily.

Recently, requirements for improving the convenience of constructing BIPV (Building Integrated Photo Voltaic) modules had increased. To solve this problem, we fabricated shingled PV modules integrated with bent steel plates for building integrated photovoltaics. These PV modules could be constructed directly on the roof without the installation structure. We found optimal lamination conditions with supporting structures to fabricate a module on a bent steel plate. Moreover, we applied a shingled design to PV modules integrated with bent steel plates to achieve a high electrical output power. The shingled module with bent steel plates shows 142.80 W of solar-to-power conversion in 0.785 m² area.

태양전지는 태양광을 직접 전기로 변환하는 소자로서, 무공해 신재생 에너지로 각광받고 있다. 이러한 태양전지의 상용화를 위하여 발전효율과 경제성을 높이기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 특히 도심형 건물의 외장재를 태양전지로 활용하는 건물통합형 태양광 발전 (BIPV : building integrated photovoltaics)등에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 따라서, 본 조사 연구에서는 태양전지 기판소재의 요구특성을 조사하고, BIPV용으로 적용 가능한 유연한 금속기판의 개발을 위한 기술적 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 현재 태양전지의 기판은 비정질 혹은 결정질 실리콘 기판과 라임유리 기판이 주로 사용되고 있으며, 특수용도로 고가의 폴리이미드 고분자 필름이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 BIPV의 다양한 응용을 위해서는 저가의 유연한 기판이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 스테인레스 금속박판은 인성 및 강도가 우수하고, 유연하여 다양한 형태로 가공이 가능하며, 가격이 저렴하고, 다양한 표면개질기술이 적용될 수 있다.

The conversion efficiency of solar cells depending on incident angle of light is important for building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) applications. The quantum efficiency is the ratio of the number of charge carriers collected by the solar cell to the number of photons of a given energy shining on the solar cell. The analysis of angle dependence of quantum efficiencies give more information upon the variation of power output of a solar cell by the incident angle of light. The variations in power output of solar cells with increasing angle of incidence is different for the type of cell structures. In this study we present the results of the quantum efficiency measurement of single-crystalline silicon solar cells and a-Si:H thin-film solar cells with the angle of incidence of light. As a result, as the angle of incidence increases in single-crystalline silicon solar cells, quantum efficiency at all wavelength (300~1,100 nm) of light were reduced. But in case of a-Si:H thin-film solar cells, quantum efficiency was increased or maintained at the angle of incidence from 0 degree to about 40 degrees and dramatically decrease at more than 40 degrees in the range of visible light. This results of quantum efficiency with increasing incident angle were caused by haze and interference effects in thin-film structure. Thus, the structural optimization considering incident angle dependence of solar cells is expected to benefit BIPV.

투명 박막 태양전지는 건물과 일체화 된 building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) 시스템에 적용되어 건물의 외장재로서 외관의 심미적 가치를 높일 수 있다. 현재 BIPV 모듈은 glass 타입의 형태가 시장을 주도할 것으로 예상되며[1], 건물의 외부 미관을 고려하여 투명 박막 태양전지에 색을 구현하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 투명 박막 태양전지에 적용하기 위한 목적으로 본 연구에서는 스핀코팅을 이용하여 표면 플라즈몬 효과가 큰 Cu 나노입자를 Si 웨이퍼와 유리기판 위에 각각 분포 시킨 후, 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 스핀코팅의 속도(rpm)를 다양하게 변화 시킨 후 나노 입자의 분포를 관찰하였으며, 속도가 증가할수록 나노입자의 수는 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 속도가 증가할수록 입자 사이의 거리는 멀어졌으며, 최저 속도 100 rpm에 비해 4000 rpm에서 스핀코팅 한 입자들은 응집이 상대적으로 되지 않았음을 관찰하였다. 속도가 증가할수록 입자가 기판 위에 적게 잔재하기 때문에 반사율과 투과율이 가시광선 영역에서 증가하였으며, 유리 기판에 구현한 색깔이 점차 옅어짐을 관찰하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 스핀코팅의 속도를 변화시킴으로써 나노입자의 분포 양상과 이에 따른 색상의 변화를 유발 할 수 있다는 사실을 확인하였다.
