Abstract

15 kW grid-connected building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) sunshade system has been installed at Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) and monitoring system has also been constructed for measuring and analyzing performance of BIPV sunshade system to observe the overall effect of environmental conditions on their operation characteristics by long-term field test. Before installation of BIPV system, the performance of BIPV components such as power conditioning unit (PCU) and PV module under standard test conditions, which was measured and evaluated through short-term performance test. The performance of BIPV system has been evaluated and analyzed for component perspective (PV array and PCU) and global perspective (system efficiency, capacity factor, and electrical power energy, power quality etc.) for one year monitoring periods and loss factors are reviewed.
