Abstract

In the realm of technological market penetration of solar photovoltaic
louvers (PVL) addressing environmental difficulties and the industrial
revolution, a new avenue of renewable energy is introduced. Moreover,
solar energy exploitation through building façades was addressed
through motorized solar photovoltaic louvers (MPVL). On the other
hand, proponents exalted the benefits of MPVL overlooking the typical
analyses. In this communication, we attempted to perform a thorough
industrial system evaluation of the MPVL. This communication presents
a methodology to validate the industrial claims about MPVL devices and
their economic efficiency and the insight on how geographical location
influences their utilization and augment their potential benefits. This task
is carried out by evaluating the extent of solar energy that can be harvested
using solar photovoltaic system (PVSYST) software and investigating
whether existing product claims are associated with MPVL are feasible in
different locations. The performance and operational losses (temperature,
internal network, power electronics) were evaluated. To design and assess
the performance of different configurations based on the geographical
analogy, simulation tools were successfully carried out based on different
topographical locations. Based on these findings, various factors affect the
employment of MPVL such as geographical and weather conditions, solar
irradiation, and installation efficiency. tt is assumed that we successfully
shed light and provided insights into the complexity associated with
MPVL.
