Özet

Photovoltaic (PV) components are being used in architecture after the energy crisis in 1970's in order to produce electricity directly from solar radiation. But first examples of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPVs) were being applied into new projects. When it is thought to be added to existing buildings, they began being used in the retrofitting of them. There are many examples of retrofitting historical buildings by using PV panels. These applications help protecting cultural heritage since they end up with the use of these buildings for a longer time. They are also economic applications because these buildings produce their own energy themselves after the retrofitting. In addition, these PV panels add a second value to these buildings because they have state-of-the-art applications on them.
