Prediction of the surface temperature of building-integrated photovoltaics: development of a high accuracy correlation using computational fluid dynamics

Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panels are generally expected to operate for over 25 years to be viewed as an economically viable technology. Overheating is known to be one of the major deficiencies in reaching the targeted lifespan goals. Alongside the thermal degradation, the operational e...
