Versatile Design Protocol of Architectural Integration of Photovoltaics

抄録

By simply taking a fish-eye lens photograph once at the location, or performing the equivalent operation by computer graphics using geographical data of the location, one can see how much photovoltaic energy will be obtained in each season there. No restriction is required regarding the layout design of photovoltaic cells or installation location. As an eventual discovery, a theory of design rules pertaining to PV integration, which is characterized by “inner symmetry” was developed, as the integrated PV energy obtained remain unchanged towards any arbitrary rotation around an axis.
