  • Understanding the failure mechanisms of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) under different thermal and mechanical conditions [Elektronski vir]
    Lucherini, Andrea ; Bedon, Chiara
    Sustainability drivers are pushing the built environment to increasingly rely on renewable energy resources and, accordingly, photovoltaics panels are more and more installed into the building ... envelope, particularly in facades and roofs. The presented experimental study investigates the failure mechanisms of building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) under different thermal and mechanical conditions. Using high-performance radiant panels, commercial BIPV modular units are fire tested under a range of thermal and mechanical conditions of practical interest: at the exposed surface, at the unexposed substrate, and at the BIPV mechanical boundaries. The typical failure mechanism is studied analysing the temperature evolution at specific control points, as well as deflections and strains over the BIPV units. The overall goal of the research project is understanding the failure mechanisms of BIPV modular units to provide design and testing recommendations to increase the safety of these systems under combined fire and mechanical loads.
