Customer ServiceA building is a solar building if it is systematically designed by understanding the interactions between the energy demand systems and different energy supply systems using solar energy . Solar energy can be harnessed using either passive or active methods.
At first, the integration of PVs in buildings was constrained due to the cost, rigidity, and weight of standard PV panels. However, finiteness of fossil fuels and improved cost dynamics of the solar PV is leading to the integration of solar energy systems in buildings.
Solar energy systems for building applications include solar PV systems and solar thermal systems. Solar PV system is direct conversion of sunlight into electrical energy by solar PV panels. Solar PV systems can be applied to both small residential and large buildings such as offices.
It is possible to get a low-temperature or high-temperature using collectors of different designs. Solar PV integration in buildings has become possible with advancements in solar PV cell technology. A solar PV system installation shares the energy demand of a building and correspondingly reduces CO 2 emissions.
Some of the notable solar integrated buildings across the world are: The solar building is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with architectural features, was built in 1956 to house the engineering firm, Bridgers & Paxton. It became first active solar-heated building and has a solar-heated floor of 5000 ft 2 .
Energy system that links the PV modules to the building and a district energy system to maximize the local use of the electricity generated, including storage, power conversion, power control, heating and cooling, and e-mobility are becoming the future realities in the building systems.
