Homes of the future generate their own electricity, slashing energy bills.
The article discusses a system called Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) in Shenzhen. It explains how this system not only generates electricity but also serves other functions in construction. The researchers analyzed data from different types of solar panels installed in various locations to understand how solar radiation affects electricity generation. They found that the efficiency of generating electricity varies depending on the type of PV module and its placement.
