Adaptability of photovoltaic mono-polycrystalline solar panels and photovoltaic roof tiles on dwelling roofs of real estate developments
Abstract The use of photovoltaic (PV) technology in urban areas is an appropriate way to optimize the use of solar energy, since the energy conversion system is located in the same place as the demand. Thus, the losses caused by distribution networks and even technology costs are reduced; in additio...
