Chapter 5 REVIEW - Photovoltaic Modules

Question 1

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV)

Answer 1

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) combines photovoltaic cell with the traditional building materials such as roofing tiles, skylights, and windows, so the building structure itself produces energy.

Question 2

An I-V curve (or current-voltage curve)

Answer 2

An I-V curve (or current-voltage curve) plots the relationship of current and voltage output for a PV module for specific conditions
