Embodied greenhouse gas emissions from PV systems in Norwegian residential Zero Emission Pilot Buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the combustion of fossil energy need to be reduced to combat global climate change. For zero energy and Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB), photovoltaic solar energy systems are often installed. ... -
The Influence of Icephobic Nanomaterial Coatings on Solar Cell Panels at High Latitudes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Solar energy’s penetration at high latitudes has been boosted during recent years, but snow deposits during the winter still limit its exploitation. Therefore, various solutions for snow removal, such as icephobic coatings, ... -
Large-Scale Experimental Wind-Driven Rain Exposure Investigations of Building Integrated Photovoltaics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) are photovoltaic materials that replace conventional building materials in parts of the building envelopes, such as roofs or facades, i.e. the BIPV system serves dual purposes, as ... -
Solar shading control strategies in cold climates - Heating, cooling demand and daylight availability in office spaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Modern office buildings often have large glazed areas. Incident solar radiation can lead to large cooling demands during hot periods although the solar radiation can help reduce heating demands during cool periods. Previous ... -
The Influence of Snow and Ice Coverage on the Energy Generation from Photovoltaic Solar Cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This literature study examines previous studies of the optical properties of snow, and attempts to tie them together with studies on the effects of shading on photovoltaic solar panels. The study presents some information ...
