In this paper an attempt has been made to develop a simple methodology to calculate embodied energy of the adobe house at Solar Energy Park, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, New Delhi (28°35′N, 77°12′E) and its effect on the environment. The special feature of the adobe house is that,...

This paper presents an analysis of energy payback time and life-cycle conversion efficiency earning by solar energy park (SEP) at I.I.T Delhi, New Delhi, India. There are a number of hybrid photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) systems with stand-alone photovoltaic (SAPV) power supply in the SEP. The...

This paper presents rigorous experimental outdoor performance of a 2.32 kWP stand-alone photovoltaic (SAPV) system in New Delhi (India) for four weather types in each month such as clear, hazy, partially cloudy/foggy and fully cloudy/foggy weather conditions respectively. The daily power...

Analytical expressions for the electrical efficiencies (ηm) of building integrated opaque photovoltaic thermal (BIOPVT) systems based on thin film photovoltaic (PV) modules have been derived. The expressions are valid for different climatic conditions and different design parameters of the...
