Performance indicators for complex PV new systems have to consider their multiple-usage benefits. These PV systems are built to produce energy on the one hand and on the other hand to provide additional yield or benefits, economically or for instance regarding social acceptance of PV system installations. Thus, performance indicators besides energy yield related figures are relevant for rating a certain PV installation. This session attempts to provide a collection of new performance characterization methods for new PV system designs as a reference. New methods are described and explained by laboratory tests up to case studies. The presentations will cover the outcomes of the work carried out by IEA PVPS Task 13 experts to provide well-founded and comparable key figures in order to enable new PV system designs to move faster into new fields of PV applications.</p> <br /><p>This session is jointly organized by Intersolar and IEA PVPS Task 13.

Buildings are the power plants of the future. With the emergence of IoT, smart cities, and e-Mobility, building skins with integrated solar PV systems (BIPV) can contribute to both energy production and urban charging infrastructure. New advances and innovations are making BIPV increasingly appealing to the construction industry and driving demand for large-scale adoption. This session will showcase the unlimited potential of this technology, explore its implications for urban transformation both today and in future, and highlight new business models developed in response.
