3 Introduction 1. Photovoltaic (PV) is a technology that converts light energy directly into electrical energy. 2. Factors affecting electrical output : Heat (mounting and air gap) Light (solar irradiance and shading) Other factors (dirt and aging) 8 th November 2016 Asean Smart Grid Congress 2, 3

4 Introduction 3. Types of mounting configuration Free standing Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Retrofitted Asean Smart Grid Congress 2, 8 th November

5 Introduction 4. Problems for retrofitted Air gap between the PV array and the roof surface. Heat buildup between PV array and roofing material. The temperature of roofing material can also directly affect the operating temperature of the modules. 5. BIPV might have same problem as retrofitted due to limited ventilation 8 th November 2016 Asean Smart Grid Congress 2, 5

6 Introduction 6. Modelling on PV module temperature (T c ) Two categories: Analytical Empirical Ambient environment Ambient temperature Solar irradiance Wind speed Relative humidity Built environment Mounting configuration Type of roof material Air gap 8 th November 2016 Asean Smart Grid Congress 2, 6

7 Problem Statement 1. Many existing studies (empirical modelling) only considered ambient environmental factors. 2. Some studies related the immediate built environment of the installation on the temperature of the PV module. Objective 1. To compare the temperature difference of PV modules for retrofitted and BIPV system. 2. To determine the mounting configuration factor for retrofitted and BIPV system. 8 th November 2016 Asean Smart Grid Congress 2, 7
