Integration of photovoltaic modules to optimize energy usage in residential buildings
Residential buildings are one of the biggest energy consumers. Among renewable energies, we can consider solar energy as an endless energy source, but it is not possible to use solar energy directly instead of fossil fuels; using the equipment we have to convert solar radiant energy to mechanical energy, thermal and electricity. One of the best equipment is using photovoltaic systems, which for more efficiency measures are taken to integrate it with the building to have thermal comfort. The main goal of this research is to integrate photovoltaic modules to optimize energy consumption in Tehran and enhance the performance of systems in residential buildings; for this purpose, using simulation method and PVsyst solar energy application, the amount of production and losses, equipment specifications and the way of connection and integration in the facade have been analyzed. The rate of return on investment has been calculated in RETscreen software. As a result, to enhance the performance of solar arrays, fixed-type panels should be used and connected to the grid. The total sum and nominal power of the solar array is one kilowatt, every 250 watts, and four 250 W panels together make one kilowatt. The amount of production load for projects connected to the network is unlimited. The rate of return on investment, including the costs separately and without consolidation, has become 8.8 or 8 years and 12 months, but with the integration of this technology in the building, the period of return on investment becomes shorter by 2 years and 4 months.
