Abstract :
The present work shares a numerical investigation results from a simulated BIPV/T and a BIPV/T-PCM system. This simulation is part of a current research project that pretends to investigate advanced technological prefabricated modules integrating PV and PCM for improving the indoor thermal conditions and reducing building energy demand, through direct electricity generation, solar thermal contributions and energy storage in residential and non-residential buildings. The work will show a decrease in the air temperature within the cavity and consequently the reduction of PV temperature, increasing its efficiency.
