1 Understanding building integrated photovoltaics 1 Introduction 2 Outline of PV technology This publication is intended to provide help for building The main components of a grid-connected photovoltaic services engineers and other building professionals in the (PV) system are shown in Figure 1. These are: safe and efficient design and operation of grid-connected building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) installations. This — an array containing photovoltaic cells which document is not intended as a detailed manual but generates DC power highlights the issues involved and best practice solutions. — a power conditioning unit (PCU) which converts the DC power to AC power and associated control and It provides a brief description of the technology and then protection equipment. considers the application of BIPV throughout the building process, i.e. preliminary design, outline and then detailed The system is connected to the electrical supply system of design, installation and commissioning, and, finally, the building via the standard building wiring and the operation and maintenance. At each stage the relevant mains switchboard and to the utility grid via import and legislation is listed. Section 8 contains four case studies. (where appropriate) export metering. Appendix 1 is a checklist of potential hazards. Appendix 2 The rest of this section will look at this system in more provides
