TY - JOUR AU - Kumar, Nallapaneni Manoj PY - 2019 DA - 2019/08/14 TI - Performance of single-sloped pitched roof cadmium telluride (CdTe) building-integrated photovoltaic system in tropical weather conditions JO - Beni-Suef University Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences SP - 2 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - This paper investigates the performance of a single-sloped pitched roof building-integrated photovoltaic (SSPR-BIPV) system. A typical rural building having a roof area of 60 sq. m is considered for the study. It was observed that the considered roof area could accommodate, nearly 7 kW BIPV system, and on the other side, most buildings seen in Malaysia are of the roof based constructed at different roof pitches. Considering this, a SSPR-BIPV is proposed and analyzed in seven different pitched roofs (the steepness of roof slopes are 15°, 18°, 22°, 30°, 35°, 40°, and 45°) under the tropical weather conditions in Malaysia.
