Performance of thin-film BIPV as double sloped pitched roof in buildings of Malaysia
Solar energy in built environments became more popular in the recent years emerging as building integrated photovoltaics (90 degrees facade and 0 degrees roof BIPV). However, in most cases, residential buildings have varying roof pitches instead of 0 degrees roof. In this context, it is significant to assess the energy output and performance of double-sloped pitched roof thin-film BIPV at different angles and orientation. Results show that the performance of the BIPV inclined at 15 degrees and east orientation is better among the other orientation and angles.
