Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system operates as a multi-functional building construction material. They not only produce electricity, but also are building integral components such as facade, roof, window and shading device. On the other hands lots of architectural considerations should be reflected such as Installation position, shading, temperature effect and so on. As PV modules function like building envelope in BIPV, combined thermal and PV performance should be simultaneously evaluated This study is on the combined thermal and PV performance evaluation of BIPV modules. The purpose of this study is to investigate a temperature effect of PV module depending on the ventilation type of PV module backside. Test cell experiment was performed to identify the thermal and power effect of PV modules. Measurement results on the correlation of temperature and power generation were obtained. Those results can be utilized for the development of optimal BIPV installation details in the very early design stage.

In this study, we analyzed the maximum output power characteristics of crystalline silicon photovoltaic module by change of environmental effects. The electrical, optical and thermal property of PV modules were investigated during outdoor test period about 70 days. There was a fluctuation in maximum output power by change in transmittance caused by environment effects like rain, snow and dust. The effects of external environmental change were analyzed using climate data. Also local thermal temperature variation and transmittance imbalance on surface of PV module which might lead degradation of constituent material were detected using infrared camera. The further analysis is describe in the following paper.

Due to the Korean government's renewable energy support policy such as the renewable energy utilization building certificate and enlarging the compulsory ratio of investment on the public building, the rooftop photovoltaic projects are expanding rapidly. It is very important for the rooftop photovoltaic projects to analyze the shading effect of the adjacent structures or own facilities. But, the photovoltaic arrangements are planned by the experience of the designers or simple graphic tools. The purpose of this study is to build the process model for optimizing of rooftop photovoltaic arrangement based on three-dimensional geo-spatial information.

This paper proposes the method to implement the railroad switching point heating system using the hybrid of the photovoltaic and wind power. The goal of the implementation of the railroad switching point heating system is to prevent freezing of the snow in the winter. The heating system of railway used to supply electricity through photovoltaic and wind power to prevent freezing. Hot wires of the railroad switching point heating system are used about 2kW of electric energy at the day. The electric energy of 2kW used the length of the hot wires about 3m. As the ON and/or OFF mode considering the tracks temperature and the ambient temperature, so the way the use of power-saving effect. In addition, the system can be used the railroad switching point heating system in winter and railway signal and street lights around the track in summer. In experiment, we acquired the power data according to time at the day of photovoltaic and wind power. We confirmed the temperature rise using the heating cable for 3m of $85^{\circ}C$, 30W/m. The temperature rise of the heating cable changes the temperature of $5^{\circ}C$ after 10 minutes and $11^{\circ}C$ after 10 minutes. We have confirmed the possibility of the railroad switching point heating system using the hybrid of the photovoltaic and wind power.

Monitoring system is constructed for evaluating and analyzing performance of installed 50kW grid-connected PV system and have been monitored since October 2005. As climatic and irradiation conditions have been varied through long-term operation, there is necessity for evaluating numerical values of PV(Photovoltaic) system performance to observe the overall effect of environmental conditions on their operation characteristics. This paper presents performance monitoring results and analysis on component perspective(PV array and power conditioning system) and global perspective(yield, losses) of PV system for one year monitoring periods.

Si-ZnSe n-n heterojunction was made by growing ZnSe thin film on the Si single crystal (111) surface with Bash evaporating method in vacuum. This heterojunction was found to be a useful device for frequency meter in the visible wave-length from the measuring of the photovoltaic effect of the heterojunction.

In this paper, we study the electric characteristics of shading effects in photovoltaic module in case of outdoor operation. When fabricating PV module, solar cells are connected serially to obtain the high voltage because of its low open circuit voltage. And total current is determined by lowest current among solar cells. When the shading happens on PV module's surface, the current of shaded solar cell determine the total current flow. Because of this, generally by-pass diode is installed on junction box. The bypass diode operate when revered and shaded solar cell's voltage is over 0.6 voltage. The reverse-biased solar cell gives reduced maximum power of PV module and might give negative effect on durability. So, adequate by-pass installation and selection is needed.

The performance of a photovoltaic array is affected by temperature, solar insolation, partial shading effect, and array configuration. Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) techniques are employed in photovoltaic systems to make full utilization of the PV array output power which depends on solar irradiation and ambient temperature. As much as MPPT is important in photovoltaic systems, many MPPT techniques have been developed. In this paper, several major existing MPPT methods are comparatively analyzed and novel hybrid MPPT algorithm is proposed. The proposed hybrid MPPT algorithm is developed in combination with traditional MPPT methods to complement each other for improving performance and mitigating partial shading effects. The proposed algorithm is implemented and validated using MATLAB/Simulink simulation tool.

Most solar photovoltaic (PV) modules frequently get shadowed, completely or partially, resulting in a reduction of PV generation. This paper presents and compares the results from simulations and experimental measurements of the power output from a single PV module under various shading conditions. The study was carried out with a 90 W PV module and a 250 W PV module. The shaded area was increased from 0 to 100% for both variable and constant irradiances to analyze the effect of fluctuations in the solar irradiance certain shading conditions. The effect of shading for irradiance levels from 100 to $900W/m^2$ was investigated. Results showed that for every $100W/m^2$ decrease in the solar irradiance level, the power output decreased by 9, 0.7 and 1.5 W at 0, 25 and 50% shading, respectively. For solar irradiance levels higher than $500W/m^2$, the temperature increased by 1.6, 2.7 and $1.1^{\circ}C$ at 0, 25 and 50% shading, respectively, for every $100W/m^2$ increase in the irradiance.
