Photovoltaic (PV) efficiency refers to the ability of a photovoltaic device, such as a solar cell or solar panel, to convert sunlight into usable electrical energy. It is expressed as a percentage and represents the ratio of electrical power output to the amount of sunlight (solar energy) input.
Today, photovoltaic technology is a major industry with applications in a wide range of sectors, including residential and commercial buildings, transportation, and power generation . The continued growth of the industry is expected to play a key role in the transition to a more sustainable energy system .
Photovoltaic (PV) cell technologies are rapidly improving, with efficiencies reaching up to 30% and costs falling below $ 0.50/W, making PV a competitive source of energy in many countries around the world. Solar PV technology holds immense potential for creating a cleaner, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective electricity system.
The perception of solar PV as a mature technology and auctions, which have become the preferred method for governments to select new solar capacity worldwide, 38 decrease the risk and the financial costs, which in turn reduces the cost of solar electricity. 36 Improvements in maintenance and lifetime will also lower the cost.
The purpose of this study is to review the deployment of photovoltaic systems in sustainable buildings. PV technology is prominent, and BIPV systems are crucial for power generation. BIPV generates electricity and covers structures, saving material and energy costs and improving architectural appeal.
Dual-use photovoltaic (PV) technologies, also known as dual-use PV, are a type of PV application where the PV panels serve an additional function besides the generation of electricity.
Innovative dual-use technology like agrivoltaics, BIPV, FPV, and VIPV creates opportunities to develop domestically made products capable of expanding PV markets as well as reducing reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
