... as compared with other studies found in the literature. A major contribution of this study is the plots and tables showing optimum tilt angles as estimated by the model as well as with empirical data. By selecting the appropriate tilt angle, a designer can now decide to either maximize annual energy received...

.... Each class is further divided into several types according to the designs of the integrated PV roofs. Compared with BIPV systems, the total efficiency of most BIPVT systems is significantly improved. However, the decrease in electricity output and adverse impact on the indoor environment is also found...
