Analysis of the Use of Solar Panels on Building Façades in Ecuador: Potential and Challenges of BIPV
摘要
The use of spaces such as the facades of buildings in large population centers presents a great advantage because they are vertical spaces unlike the use of terraces, this presents opportunities such as self-sufficiency of energy and in turn other advantages such as thermal insulation through photovoltaic panels (BIPV), aesthetics reducing associated costs in the daily use of the facilities. Ecuador, due to its geographic location, has additional advantages in the use of solar radiation, making the self-generation of electricity sustainable, being this ongrid or offgrid, having a very attractive recovery rate for investors.
