Today, it is actual trend to use any ecological renewable energy sources.  A substantial part of these energy sources is solar radiation. Solar radiation can be used in the design of a building in two main ways, either to generate electricity using photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate heat for hot water using solar thermal collectors. Photovoltaic panels are used to generate electricity due to light radiation. The article also deals with the energy use and financial assessment of PV panels installed on the ventilated facade of a particular building. The benefits are presented on a specific case study of a real residential  building.</p> ER -
