Résumé

Growth in photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing worldwide continues to increase. In parallel, appropriate standards and certification schemes are being developed. As a result, there is a pressing need for clear guidance on integrating this technology into working practices of professionals in the building sector. This book offers such guidance, detailing all major topics for successful project implementation, from the technical design to the legal and market issues of PV installation.

Beginning with resource assessment and an outline of the core components, this guide covers system design, economic analysis, installation, operation and maintenance of PV systems. Checklists for project managers, a review of relevant simulation tools plus data on selected regional, national and international renewable energy support programmes are also provided.

In short, this book offers comprehensive guidance for professionals who wish to install photovoltaic technology and will be a cherished resource for architects and engineers alike who are working on new projects, electricians, roofers and other installers, craftsmen undertaking vocational training and anyone with a specialized and practical interest in this field.
