Abstract

With the development of photovoltaic technology, the number of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems is increasing. Differing from the traditional design of BIPV systems based on the experience of experts, which suffers from high cost and non-maximum efficiency of equipment due to the information lack of buildings, this paper proposes a novel calculation approach based on building information modeling (BIM) technology. Taking a BIPV building located in Hainan, China as a example, the modelling process is given, which description is 1:1 to the real system. Besides, the geographic information attribute of Hainan and the thermal radiation of the building are considered, respectively. Numerical simulation validates the effectiveness of the proposed approach with advantages of high-accuracy and practicability.
