Abstract
Renewable energy especially solar energy has become a significant part in electrical power generation with its advantage in the environmentally friendly and current trend of decrease in installation cost. The photovoltaic (PV) system on a rooftop is one of the power generating system based on renewable energy that can fit building to utilize space efficiently. This paper is analyzing the feasibility of installing a solar PV rooftop on the building using a case study building located in Bangkok, Thailand. The performance will be evaluated in term of both energy and economic perspective. The comparison with Thailand building energy code also been done to show that overall energy consumption with PV system complies with the law. The result has shown that with rooftop photovoltaic system installation, annual energy consumption in the building can be reduced significantly and it can achieve feasibility in term of economic perspective.
Highlights
Renewable energy especially energy from solar will be one of the primary sources of energy in the future
In order to achieve this target, the government set up the law "The Energy Conservation Promotion Act 1992" that act as the standard for Building Energy Code (BEC) to improved energy efficiency in building
This paper aims to present a feasibility analysis of the installation of a solar rooftop in term of energy performance and economic perspective using a case study building located in Bangkok, Thailand
Summary
Renewable energy especially energy from solar will be one of the primary sources of energy in the future. In order to achieve this target, the government set up the law "The Energy Conservation Promotion Act 1992" that act as the standard for Building Energy Code (BEC) to improved energy efficiency in building. It can be seen that solar rooftop system can be installed as an alternative electrical energy source from distribution grid in order to reduce energy cost and whole building energy consumption according to BEC standard. This paper aims to present a feasibility analysis of the installation of a solar rooftop in term of energy performance and economic perspective using a case study building located in Bangkok, Thailand. The analysis of energy performance and feasibility of the project in term of economic perspective been done This result can be used as a guideline and case study to promote the investment in solar PV rooftop in a building
