This article presents a dataset for the solar incident radiation and electricity production of PV systems in the north and south orientations in a dense urban area (in the northern hemisphere). The solar incident radiation and the electricity production of two back-to-back PV panels with a ten-centimetre gap for one year are monitored and logged as primary data sources. Using Microsoft Excel, both panels\u2019 efficiency is also presented as a secondary source of data. The implemented PV panels are composed of polycrystalline silicon cells with an efficiency of 16.9%. The results depicted that the actual efficiency of the south-facing panel (13\u201315%) is always closer to the standard efficiency of the panel compared to the actual efficiency of the north-facing panel (8\u201312%). Moreover, although the efficiency of the south-facing panel on sunny days of the year is almost constant, the efficiency of the north-facing panel decreases significantly in winter. This phenomenon might be linked to the spectral response of the polycrystalline silicon cells and different incident solar radiation spectrum on the panels. While the monitored data cover the radiation and system electricity production in various air conditions, the analysis is mainly conducted for sunny days, and more investigation is needed to analyse the system performance in other weather conditions (like cloudy and overcast skies). The presented database could be used to analyse the performance of polycrystalline silicon PV panels and their operational efficiency in a dense urban area and for different orientations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data6060057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,26]],"date-time":"2021-05-26T10:30:32Z","timestamp":1622025032000},"page":"57","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Dataset for the Solar Incident Radiation and Electricity Production BIPV\/BAPV System on the Northern\/Southern Fa\u00e7ade in Dense Urban Areas"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7835-6774","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hassan","family":"Gholami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"City and Regional Planning Group, Institute of Safety, Economics and Planning (IS\u00d8P), Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Stavanger, 4021 Stavanger, Norway"}]},{"given":"Harald","family":"Nils R\u00f8stvik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"City and Regional Planning Group, Institute of Safety, Economics and Planning (IS\u00d8P), Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Stavanger, 4021 Stavanger, Norway"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Ritchie, H., Roser, M., and Access to Energy (2021, May 26).
