Building Integrated Photovoltaic Program
Overview Roadmap Facilities Publications Personnel Contact Overview
NIST's Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) program is outlined in the associated roadmap. The program consists of short-term testing to characterize the electrical performance of Building Integrated Photovoltaic panels that utilize various cell technologies, modelling to predict the annual energy prediction of the the characterized panels, and long-term performance monitoring of the BIPV panels under real-world conditions. The measured performance will be compared to predicted performance. Discrepancies will be reported to the authors of the computer simulation models. Joint efforts will be undertaken to improve the accuracy of the predictive models.
