Method to assess the potential of photovoltaic panel based on roof design

The photovoltaic (PV) panel makes it possible for everyone to produce electricity in their own house. However, the is quite a costly investment and requires much consideration maximize its potential. roof has variables that would impact generation. of housing Indonesia was built generally complex shape, combination gable hip roofs. This research conducted break down factors affecting PV productivity regard roof’s aspects. A computer simulation using Ladybug plugin Rhinoceros software been done achieve target. Initially, performance panels on gable, roof, analyzed respectively. It found slope, orientation, contribute more amount produced than shape itself. These were used assess potential several models employing simple (more 2 surfaces) construction city Gorontalo. Eventually, comparison between estimation real production housing, provided by verify assessment method. difference about 4%, as proof result reliable.
