Résumé

This document is addressed to manufacturers of photovoltaic systems. It describes the main criteria for a successful integration of PV systems in buildings and proposes a methodology for the design of systems specifically conceived for building integration. For each specific sub-technology, it provides a comprehensive set of practical recommendations that should lead to the production of new systems appealing to architects.

Photovoltaic system

A photovoltaic system, also PV system or solar power system, is an electric power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaics. It consists of an arrangement of several components, including solar panels to absorb and convert sunlight into electricity, a solar inverter to convert the output from direct to alternating current, as well as mounting, cabling, and other electrical accessories to set up a working system. It may also use a solar tracking system to improve the system's overall performance and include an integrated battery.

Photovoltaic system performance

Photovoltaic system performance is a function of the climatic conditions, the equipment used and the system configuration. PV performance can be measured as the ratio of actual solar PV system output vs expected values, the measurement being essential for proper solar PV facility's operation and maintenance. The primary energy input is the global light irradiance in the plane of the solar arrays, and this in turn is a combination of the direct and the diffuse radiation.

Énergie solaire photovoltaïque

L'énergie solaire photovoltaïque (ou énergie photovoltaïque ou EPV) est une énergie électrique produite à partir du rayonnement solaire grâce à des capteurs ou à des centrales solaires photovoltaïques. C'est une énergie renouvelable, car le Soleil est considéré comme une source inépuisable à l'échelle du temps humain. En fin de vie, un panneau photovoltaïque produit de 19 à l'énergie nécessaire à sa fabrication et à son recyclage.
