According to the installation of photovoltaic modules in different building parts, and the degree of integration of photovoltaic modules and building structures, the application of building photovoltaics can be divided into the following categories:
1. Photovoltaic roof (integrated): The photovoltaic module is directly used as the roof layer, and together with other roof layers, it undertakes the roof function.
①Photovoltaic module roof: Photovoltaic module, as a roof protection layer, is a new type of sloping roof, which is suitable for new sloping roofs and sloping roofs.
②Photovoltaic tile roof: Photovoltaic tiles or photovoltaic modules are paved in the form of tiles.
③Photovoltaic skylights: Photovoltaic modules, as the glass panels of skylights, are a new type of glass skylights, suitable for building skylights.
4. Photovoltaic insulation layer roof: The air space layer is set under the photovoltaic module, which is a kind of summer roof insulation measure, suitable for flat roof to increase the insulation layer.
2. Roof photovoltaic (additional): photovoltaic modules are attached to the roof upright or parallel, not as a roof layer, and do not assume the roof function.
①Flat roof photovoltaic: The photovoltaic modules are installed upright and inclined on the flat roof, which is suitable for existing building coils and film-coated roofs.
②Tile roof photovoltaic: The photovoltaic modules are installed parallel to the tile roof, which is suitable for the existing building tile roof.
③Metal roof photovoltaic: The photovoltaic modules are installed parallel to the metal roof, which is suitable for the metal roof of the existing building.
3. Photovoltaic curtain wall (integrated): Photovoltaic modules are directly used as curtain wall panels to form photovoltaic curtain walls together with supporting structures, which are suitable for light-transmitting and opaque building curtain walls.
4. Wall photovoltaic (additional): photovoltaic modules are placed on the wall as a photovoltaic window wall, which is suitable for the renovation of existing building walls.
5. Photovoltaic shading: Photovoltaic modules, as building shading components, have the function of building shading.
①Photovoltaic exterior window shading: Photovoltaic modules are used as exterior window shading visors, which are suitable for building exterior window shading.
②Photovoltaic awning: Photovoltaic modules are used as awning panels, which are suitable for building awnings.
③Photovoltaic veranda: Photovoltaic modules are used as the roof of the veranda, which is suitable for the veranda of the building.
④Photovoltaic stand sunshade: Photovoltaic modules are used as stand sunshade, suitable for stadium stands.
6. Photovoltaic balcony (integrated): Photovoltaic modules are directly used as balcony railings, which are suitable for building balconies.
7. Photovoltaic balcony (additional): The photovoltaic modules are hung on the outside of the balcony and are suitable for building balconies.
8. Outdoor photovoltaic: photovoltaic modules are installed outside the building as an accessory or facility of the building.
①Photovoltaic carport: Photovoltaic modules are used as the roof of the carport.
②Photovoltaic station pavilion: Photovoltaic modules are used as the ceiling of the station pavilion.
③Photovoltaic street lights: supply power for street lighting.
④Other photovoltaic modules: lawn lamps, sculptures, etc.
