Zero Energy Building achievement by inclusion of Photovoltaic System and Solar Thermal Technologies: A Review

摘要

Buildings, in all over the world are silent energy guzzlers. For the purpose of heating, cooling and other requirement, 40% of total energy of the world is consumed only by buildings. 1/3rd of Green House Gases are emitted by buildings, hence thereby for the reduction of energy consumption and Green House Gas , we have focused on Renewable Energy in which Solar Energy based systems are preferred because of abundant and easier availability of Solar Energy. This paper reviewed Solar Water Heating Technology , Solar Cooling System, Standalone Photovoltaic System and Grid Connected PV system. In this paper fundamental component of Solar Water Heater and the types of Solar Cooling system is presented. In order to fulfill the remaining demand of energy standalone PV system and Grid Connected PV systems are discussed with their components.
