What is it about?
Contemporary use of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) façades is increasing rapidly. However, A BIPV façade can impact natural lighting because of opaque solar cells in the panels. This paper explicates an approach for daylight calculation in an indoor environment with the BIPV facade system installed.

Why is it important?
Our research provides an accurate and quick approach of daylight calculation, with due consideration given to practical factors in various aspects.
Perspectives
Our findings provide a reference and a valuable overview for designers for calculating DI for BIPV systems quickly, simply and accurately. They also form an essential part of evaluating the performance of BIPV modules sufficient for the requirements of the project.
