A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Electricity generation by photovoltaics has very strongly developed during the last decades and the technology is especially suited for building integration. Photovoltaic power can supply significant portions of a buildings electricity demand. This chapter examines the physical theory behind photovoltaics and provides calculation tools for determining efficiency and output, as well as cost.
