Engineering Photovoltaic Systems Engineering Photovoltaic Systems II Application Flexibility of Solar Electricity Outline Part II Distributed Energy Source Roof Retrofits BIPV Tiles, Shingles Facades Parking and Sound Barriers Centralized PV PV Systems for Transportation Cars, Boats, and Bikes Photovoltaic Cells as Distributed Energy Source Located near the consumer in order to eliminate transmission losses (which can be higher than 50% on some antiquated grids). Panels can be placed on roofs, built into roofs, building facades, carports, highway sound barriers, etc. Any surface which is exposed to sunlight is fair game. Roof Retrofits This house on right is modular construction and includes 6 kW of PV modules. Below retrofits to schools Building Integrated Photovoltaics or BIPV The design and integration of PV technology into the building envelope, usually replacing conventional building materials: Residential Rooftops Specifically designed for PV. This energy efficient home in Oxford generates more electricity than it uses. Surplus electricity is sold to the local utility company and to power an electric car Roofing Tiles and Shingles The PV shingle shown here won Popular Science Magazines grand award for Whats new in Environmental Technology. PV shingles can replace common roofing shingles. PV shingles look much like ordinary roofing shingles, but they generate electricity. They were laid out and nailed to the roof using the same methods as are used to lay conventional shingles. Like their non-PV counterparts, these shingles overlap providing for water shedding capability. Relaxing on Solar Shingles Bill Ball, president of the Stellar Sun Shop in Little Rock, Arkansas, is clearly comfortable with PV shingles on the rooftop of his shop. Peal and Stick Solar Cells Thin film amorphous silicon solar cells which can be deposited on plastic or steel (right) are extremely versatile The panels on the right can be stuck directly to standard standing
