There is a building with a PV system on the facade in Seoul, South Korea.
This research is to compare the energy harvesting performance depending on the facade shape.
2. Calculating the amount of solar energy depending on the PV panel inclination using grasshopper
3. Generating the PV facade building model using Python
4. Working process for the Python script
5. Further study for comparing the PV panel performance of different inclination
Site: Seoul, South Korea
Building orientation: 54 degrees clockwise from true north.
5.1 PV Facade shape of different extrusions
5.2 PV Facade performance of South-East orientation depending on different extrusion length
5.3 Comparison of PV facade performance of different orientations (SE/SW/NW/NE)
5.4 PV Facade Performance comparison
1) Collected solar energy (A): 469.05 kWh
2)PV Panel area (B) : 3.77 m2
3) A / B: 124.49 kWh /m²
1)Collected solar energy (A): 920.89 kWh
2)PV Panel area (B): 6.65 m2
3) A / B: 138.52 kWh /m²
5.5 Design modification for increasing the efficiency of PV Facade Performance
(Focusing on the solar energy harvesting performance)
