ASSESSMENT OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF BUILDING INTEGRATED PV SYSTEMS OF 1 kW ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN BANJA LUKA

The paper focuses on the analysis and assessment of the possibilities of building integrated PV (BIPV) systems of 1 kW electricity generation in Banja Luka in the Republic of Srpska. Special attention was paid to average monthly sum of global solar irradiation per square meter received by horizontally, optimally and vertically inclined and south-oriented solar modules of 1kW BIPV system and total for year electricity production from 1 kW BIPV system with horizontally, optimally and vertically inclined and south-oriented solar modules of different materials for Banja Luka, obtained by PVGIS. In addition, comparison was made of total for year electricity production of 1kW BIPV system with horizontal, optimal and vertical inclination and south-oriented solar modules of monocrystalline silicon, CdTe and CIS in Banja Luka. The research estimated the proportion of BIPV systems power generation according to different types of PV modules and installation methods. The data could serve as a useful reference for the application of BIPV systems in buildings.
