Abstract
This paper presents an energy analysis of three rainscreen cladding designs based on demonstration PV power systems installed in the UK, including a discussion of the effect of different module types. The potential for reduction of energy requirement through recycling is considered. Energy payback times of 6 years or less have been derived for these systems
