The document discusses using building-integrated photovoltaics on a museum building. It provides details on the building's energy consumption, cooling load, and specifications of the PERC solar panels that would be used. Calculations are shown to determine the number of solar panels and area required to meet the building's energy needs through an on-site solar PV system.

Energy consumption = 1558800 kWh

EPI = 129.9 kWh/sq m

Maximum Cooling load = 1387.542 = 115.62tons

129166.93sq ft/ 115.62 tons = 1117.16 sqft/ton


PV PANEL USED - SPECIFICATIONS [TYPE 3 SOLAR PV PANEL]

PERC (PASSIVATED EMITTER & REAR CELL)


SOLAR PANELS ARE AN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE TRADITIONAL MONOCRYSTALLINE CELLS. PERC IS A MODERN
TECHNOLOGY USED TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF STANDARD SOLAR MODULES. THIS IS DONE BY ADDING A
PASSIVATED LAYER IN THE REAR OF THE CELL.

• NOMINAL POWER = OPERATING FACTOR/ACTUAL POWER​

• GIVEN NOMINAL POWER = 300 Wp/0.75​ = 400 Wp

• TYPES OF PANEL USED = TYPE 3 SOLAR PV PANEL [MONO PERC SOLAR PANEL]
PERC SOLAR PANELS

A front passivation layer can help stop front-side recombination. This


strategy also helps to reduce some reflection. To prevent unwanted
electrons from moving through the cell and hitting the rear contact, it’s
possible to add a back surface field layer or place all the wires on the
back of the panel during the manufacturing process.

• Reflects light back into the cell, increasing the amount of solar
radiation that gets absorbed.
• it reduces the natural tendency of electrons to recombine and inhibit
the flow of electrons in the system.
• it allows greater wavelengths of light to be reflected. light waves over
1,180nm can’t be absorbed by silicon wafers and simply pass through,
so they end up heating the cell’s metal back sheet and reduce its
efficiency. the passivation layer reflects these higher wavelengths and
stops them from heating up the back sheet. it
As per PV Watt Calculator, for the Delhi 10sq m. area will produce 1.5 kW DC.
Therefore 1 sq m. will produce 0.15 kW DC.

Terrace area of museum = 2700 sq m.


Let say 75% of the area can be used for pv panels = 2025 sq m.
Therefore area of 2025 will produce 303.75 kW DC

So, if we use a DC system of 303.75 kW,


It can produce an energy of 541,779 kWh/yr
CALCULATION
• TOTAL ANNUAL ENERGY REQUIREMENT OF THE SYSTEM
= 10,17,021 kWh = 10,17,021,000 Wh = 27,86,358.90 Wh/DAY

• INVERTER EFFICIENCY = 0.9 (90%)

• BATTERY VOLTAGE USED FOR OPERATION = 12 V

• BATTERY EFFICIENCY = 0.9 (90%)

THE COMBINED EFFICIENCY OF INVERTER AND BATTERY


= INVERTER EFFICIENCY X BATTERY EFFICIENCY = 0.9 x 0.9 = 0.81 (81%)

• OPTIMUM DAYLIGHT HOURS AVAILABLE PER DAY ON AVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
= 8 HOURS/DAY (EQUIVALENT OF PEAK RADIATION)

• PV PANEL POWER RATING = 300 Wp (Wp = WATT PEAK)

• OPERATING FACTOR = 0.75

POWER OUTPUT OF THE PV PANEL = 300 x 0.75 = 225 W


• TOTAL WATT-HOURS RATING OF THE SYSTEM
= TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD (WATTS) X OPERATING HOURS
= 10,17,021,000 Wh
= 27,86,358.90 Wh/DAY (FOR DAILY BASIS)

• ACTUAL POWER OUTPUT OF A PV PANEL = PEAK POWER RATING X OPERATING FACTOR = 300 X 0.75 = 225 W

• THE POWER USED AT THE END USE IS LESS (DUE TO LOWER COMBINED EFFICIENCY OF THE SYSTEM).
HENCE, ACTUAL POWER USED
= ACTUAL POWER OUTPUT OF A PANEL X COMBINED EFFICIENCY = 225 X 0.81 = 182.25 W (VA)

• ENERGY PRODUCED BY ONE 300 Wp PANEL IN A DAY


= ACTUAL POWER OUTPUT X 8 HOURS/DAY (PEAK EQUIVALENT)
= 182.25 X 8 = 1458 Wh

• NUMBER OF SOLAR PANELS REQUIRED TO SATISFY GIVEN ESTIMATED DAILY LOAD


= TOTAL WATT-HOUR RATING (DAILY LOAD)/DAILY ENERGY PRODUCED BY A PANEL
= 27,86,358.90/1458 = 1911.08 = 1912 PANELS (ROUND FIGURE)
Total no. of pv panel that can be integrated to produce required energy as per calculation = 1912
Total façade area available towards south-west, south and south-west = 6281 sq m.

•Size: 594mm x 3494mm
•Technology: Glass-Glass (2 x 5mm)
•Output: 300 Wp
•Area of Panel: 2 sq m.
•1-Axis Tracking

Total façade area required for pv integration =3824 sq m.


(60% of total façade area)

Conclusion:
• Total Energy required for the system = 1558800 kWh/yr
• Energy produced by terrace solar pv panels = 541779 kwh/yr, 2-Axis Tracking (75% of roof area required )
• Energy produced by pv integrated façade = 1017021 kWh/yr, 1-Axis Tracking (60% of façade surface area required
