Abstract

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is a growing reality worldwide and its development involves implementing techniques to log and estimate the solar resources available. In this paper an easy methodology for the pre-classification of façades in BIPV projects has been described. This step is previous to the calculation of the complete solar potential in a building, and don't include the shape and shading factors. The proposed methodology covers the development of a new model that allows the irradiation factor (IF) to be estimated on façades with only 2 input parameters: the latitude of the place and the azimuth angle of the photovoltaic generator. The necessary tools to assess the “Energetic Efficiency Rating” for BIPV facades are provided, as an initial stage to be applied by architects and engineers.
