Inspection/Case study on Photovoltaic (PV) particularly Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV)

3. Methodology
3.1 This chapter will specify the structure of the thesis and purpose of each chapter that will be included in the final report.
· Chapter 1
Chapter 1 will contain introduction of the dissertation and presenting the aims, objective, ideas and problems/solutions. This chapter objective is to simplify ideas and introduce the basic information of the investigation/study that will encounter later in the dissertation.
·         Chapter 2
Literature review chapter will include a history of the technology, contribution of every individual for the development of the technology, researchers aims for future and agreements/disagreement about the technology. The aim of this chapter is to understand the data collection methods and brief conclusion can be acquired.
·         Chapter 4
Case study of several BIPV implantations especially (development area in Jordan). Analysing the advantages/disadvantages of the each case and understanding the effect on surrounding either if it was financial or environmental.
Revealing the difficulties that the technologies encounter in the present time and trying to reduce/prevent them if it’s possible.
Produce an assessment of several implantations


·         Chapter 5
Using computer programs such as AutoCAD and PV*SOL Expert to simulate 3D systems, detailed analysis and calculations the photovoltaic systems. This used to figure out if the studied case relation with the surrounding and affect.
·         Chapter 6
Creating a BIPV design for the development and evaluating if the development designs need for improvement or different designs.
·         Chapter 7
The final design will be upgrading on the old one and better outcome from the PV. Taking into the account the calculation and prediction from chapter 5.
Describing the process of integrating the BIPV and the impact on financial aspect of integrating the new design
·         Chapter 8
Chapter 8 is about comparison and analysis between the new designs in contradiction of the existing one.
·         Chapter 9

Last chapter will be the conclusion and discussion about the new design that is purposed on the development.
