Abstract

In an attempt to promote the widespread introduction of photovoltaic power generation systems, it is necessary to achieve utility sales price-equivalent power generation costs through implemented system cost reduction. For this purpose, photovoltaic modules integrated with construction materials will be developed so that photovoltaic power generation module costs and installation work expenses can be substantially reduced by including them in the materials and general construction work costs
