Performance comparison of BAPV and BIPV systems with c-Si, CIS and CdTe photovoltaic technologies under tropical weather conditions

This paper compares the performance of photovoltaics (PV) for building applications in two configurations: building applied photovoltaics (BAPV) and building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). A 32.7 kWp PV capacity is proposed for a roof building and its performance in BAPV and BIPV configurations wi...
