Abstract

For dissemination and promotion of photovoltaic power generation systems, it is important to reduce power generation cost because the cost is very expensive compared with conventional power generation methods. The cost of building materials integrated PV modules can be at least partially offsetted by replacing building materials with PV modules, so PV modules integrated with building are extremely effective for cost reduction. In addition, the reduction of installing cost can be expected. PVTEC has started the research and development of new type PV modules integrated with building materials under contract with the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) as a four-year project from fiscal 1993.
