In each floor tile, 9 mono-crystalline silicon solar cells are connected in series, so that the expected power generation and efficiency are about 30–40 Wp and 15%, respectively. Fig. 1. PV floor tile configuration. 2.1. PV floor configuration and sample
To explore more possible areas for solar power generation, the walkable solar PV floor tile is proposed for installation on pavements and cycling tracks, which receive a lot of sunshine every day. The feasibility and potential area of applying this innovative PV floor on the green deck was investigated.
Such PV floor can combine active elements, i.e. power generation, with passive elements which can use waste material for back panel manufacture, providing an innovative and green solution to integrate sustainable energy technologies into the deck and to achieve the target of zero GHG emissions of the deck.
Specifically, two solar PV floor tile prototypes are fabricated, and its electrical and thermal performance are tested in the lab and under real conditions. The mathematical model of the developed solar PV floor is also developed, and the simulated result is compared with outdoor tests.
Abstract: This chapter presents the important features of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and an overview of electrical storage technologies. The basic unit of a solar PV generation system is a solar cell, which is a P‐N junction diode. The power electronic converters used in solar systems are usually DC‐DC converters and DC‐AC converters.
The electrical performance of the PV floor has been tested. An example of the collected I-V curves are presented in Fig. 9. The maximum power output at the solar radiation intensity of 1194 W/m 2 is 28.6 W, which is equivalent to 22.1 W when solar radiation intensity is converted to standard test conditions.
