Evaluation of Electrical and Thermal Energy Performance of a Semi-transparent Photovoltaic Module Integrated Double Pane Window System Under Different Air Flow Strategies
Abstract: Prudent manoeuvring of waste heat generated in the air cavity of a double pane photovoltaic window can increase thermal output besides improving energy generation. This paper presents the performance of a Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) thin-film semi-transparent photovoltaic (STPV) module integrated double pane window system under three different modes of operation. The modes of operation cover direct and indirect influences of the indoor environment in the cavity air flow. For simulation …

Review of Net Metering Rooftop Solar PV Grid interactive System
Abstract: As we know that the use of solar energy is increasing day by day in India and other parts of world. Net metering is a billing mechanism that uses solar energy system and adds excess electricity to the grid. Net metering allows residential and commercial customers who generate their own electricity from solar power to sell the electricity they are not using back into the grid. In India many states(Haryana, …
