Abstract
Roofs and walls of buildings represent an important location for the installation of photovoltaic systems in urban areas. High-rise buildings, with a specific spatial shape, provide the possibility of installing these systems both on the roof and on the exterior walls. Possible way to increase the efficiency of solar systems is to use solar tracking systems which maximize electricity production. In this paper, a simulation of photovoltaic systems installed on the roof and walls of a high-rise building in the city of Kragujevac, Serbia was performed, using fixed installation and installations with single and dual axis systems for solar tracking. The simulation was performed in the EnergyPlus software. The results show that usage of solar tracking systems increases electricity production, especially dual axis system for solar systems with an unfavourable orientation.
