| description | Abstract Building photovoltaic (PV) may provide a growing share of electricity for big cities. However, lack of measured radiation data on vertical surface remains a critical problem for building PV deployment. With the development of urbanization and industrialization, high aerosol load is altering the nature of solar radiation in Beijing. Hence, ten in‐plane solar radiation models are reviewed to choose optimal model for calculating solar radiation on vertical surface in such high turbidity area. At the same time, the effect of atmospheric turbidity on the model accuracy is revealed for further understanding on the optimal model. To give general suggestion on model selection, the performance of the ten models for each weather type is tested based on new method of weather type classification. Finally, solar resource on vertical surface and output energy of building PV system are evaluated by the optimal model to guide building PV deployment. The results indicate that Perez model is suitable to calculate solar radiation on vertical surface in high turbidity area. High atmosphere turbidity will cause Perez model inaccurate. Model selection can be made by the status of atmospheric transmittance. It is feasible to apply building PV in Beijing with AC output energy of 630–971 kWh/kWp/year. |
