[Building Integrated Photovoltaic facade]

Dear André,

Thank you for the reply. Do you know by any chance if I could edit the coefficients a and b of the King temperature correlation [ Tcell=I*exp(a+b*WS)+Tambient+(I/Io)*ΔT ] on the Sandia model to represent a BIPV installation?

[Building Integrated Photovoltaic facade]

Dear all,

I would like to simulate a building integrated photovoltaic facade that interacts thermally with the building envelope (in some cases with the opaque wall assembly and others with the transparent window; in both cases, PV is the outemost layer of the assembly). Is there any way to properly simulate the PV cell temperatures taking into account that the system is building integrated (and thus, tends to operate at higher PV cell temperatures that a free-standing one)?

Thank you in advance,

Costa
