Yield of the three sytems
Temperature increase and yield reduction Good ventilation is important for module cooling Less efficiency and less energy yield with increasing temperature Module temperature depends on type of mounting: less ventilation of highly integrated modules Facade integration, no ventilation Fassadenintegration, ohne Hinterlüftung Roof integration, no ventil.ation Dachintegration, ohne Hinterlüftung On / in facade, poor ventil. auf/ in Fassade, schlechte Hinterlüftung On / in facade, good ventilation auf/ in Fassade, gute Hinterlüftung On / in roof, poor ventilation auf/ im Dach, schlechte Hinterlüftung On / in roof, good ventil. auf/ im Dach, gute Hinterlüftung On roof with large gap auf Dach großer Abstand Freestanding völlig freie Aufstellung 8,9 % 5,4 % 4,8 % 3,6 % 2,6 % 2,1 % 1,8 % 0,0 % 22 K 43 K 39 K 35 K 32 K 29 K 28 K 55 K Temperaturerhöhung Minderung des Energieertrages

Common failures and defects Failures according to the frequency of occurrence: 1. Inverter defects 2. Cable connections 3. String fuses 4. Module failure and thus partial or total loss of a String (Bypass diodes or connection of cells within a module) 5. Surge arresters 6. Isolation failure Increasingly: Theft Fire Failures in PV-plants Source: EuPD research
How do I find a suitable roof?
Thank you for the attention Dr. Uwe Hartmann uh@dgs-berlin.de
Lightning protection variants Grounding of the frame Inconveniently: better:
Shading analysis Digital analysis (e.g. with fisheye optics) Values are transferred to simulation programs CAD solutions
