Exergetic assessment of BIPV module using parametric and photonic energy methods: A review

摘要

Solar energy is a hygienic, generous and easily available renewable energy. Usage of solar energy in different kinds of photovoltaic systems provides scope for several researches on exergy studies. In this paper, a detailed review on energy and exergy analysis of building integrated photovoltaic module to evaluate the electrical performance, exergy destruction and exergy efficiency with photonic method has been discussed. The wavelength of visible spectrum plays an important role on the exergy efficiency characteristics. Both the photonic energy method and parametric methods are needed to obtain a deep correlation between climatic and operating parameter. Finally other possibility to optimize and increase the building integrated photovoltaic module performance can be found. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
