Thirdly, a variety of photovoltaic building integration modules are used, with a total solar power generation power of about 400 KWp, making it a benchmark project for photovoltaic building integration in China , as shown in Table 10.
As urban areas become more populated and densified, it becomes more important to have low-energy high-rise buildings with minimal GHG emissions. On this account, this study evaluates the feasibility of achieving net-zero energy performance by employing solar energy in high-rise buildings in North America.
Scaling up the implementation of Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) in Shenzhen could effectively reduce the dependence on traditional energy sources and minimize the environmental impact of buildings . Shenzhen is a city with a high population density and limited land area, characterized by a dense concentration of high-rise buildings.
Due to the acceleration of the construction of modern urbanization projects in China, land is becoming increasingly scarce. The combination of photovoltaic systems and buildings can be developed and utilized to the greatest extent, so it is particularly suitable for promotion and application in large and medium-sized cities .
However, the lifetime of buildings in China is required to be at least 50 or more years, depending on the importance of the building. Thus, photovoltaic components do not need to last as long as buildings, but easy maintenance and replacement of photovoltaic components are important.
There are many ways to realize the energy supply of the building itself. Therefore, as far as the current situation of excessive building energy consumption in contemporary China is concerned, it is due to the imbalance between building energy creation and building energy consumption .
