    Exergy Assessment of Roof Integrated Photovoltaic Thermal RIPvT System for Sub Saharan Tropical Regions
    Author(s): Ekoe A Akata Aloys Martial*, Basant Agrawal and Donatien Njomo

    Photovoltaic systems when integrated in the building structure can satisfy the world’s energy requirements at competitive cost by providing onsite electrical and thermal energies for domestic appliances. The energy yield of the photovoltaic system is affected by the intensity of the solar radiation, wind speed, tilt angle, orientation, geographical location, etc. This paper presents a thermal modeling of a Roof Integrated Photo Voltaic Thermal System (RIPVT). A methodology has been developed to optimize the tilted angle of the roof for higher exergy output including the intensity of solar radiation, wind speed, tilt angle, orientation, geographical location, cost of cleaning dust, etc. For a system installed in the city of Douala, Cameroon, it’s recommend that RIPVT should inclined at an angle between 10º to 20° South facing for economic ou..
