What is Optimization Method for Photovoltaic Integration in Residential Houses about?

## Abstract Good design and sizing of photovoltaic (PV) systems is very important in order to effectively harvest energy and minimize the investment cost. The optimum tilt and azimuth angles at which a PV system should be installed are often debated. This paper evaluates the trade-off between annual energy generation and payback period reduction through the analysis of a small house with pitched roof integrated PVs in both East and West sides. Validated irradiance and PV models were used for the analysis. The optimum tilt and azimuth angles are found to be 35° and 10° respectively. Finally, a contour map plot illustrating all possible tilt and orientation angles, corresponding to a payback period less than 20 years, is provided. The results are valid for different building typologies and locations with similar climate conditions as Prague.
