This paper evaluates and discusses the building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system energy losses during the energy conversion process from sunlight into electricity. An approach based on partial performance ratio (P-PR) and cumulative performance ratio (C-PR) is used. The P-PR and C-PR are evalua...
