Performance Ratio Estimation for Building-Integrated Photovoltaics—Thermal and Angular Characterisation by Ana Marcos-Castro, Carlos Sanz-Saiz, Jesús Polo, Nuria Martín-Chivelet

“…Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) requires tools that improve and facilitate simulating and predicting the system’s output energy. The efficiency of a photovoltaic (PV) system can be determined by the performance ratio (<i>PR</i>), which relates the actual system’s output energy to the theoretical output according to the installed power and the solar irradiation, thus accounting for the power losses the PV system undergoes. …”
