<p>Lizette,</p>
<p> The answer to your question depends on what BIPV model you are
using. If the BIPV model uses a finite difference approach then
presumably it has (or may have) outputs for the temperature
distribution through the layers. However, if the model uses a
different algorithm, such as an overall energy balance, then you
may not be able to get at the internal temperatures. The first
thing to do is to look at the documentation of the model and
understand how it makes its assessment of the thermal and
electrical performance. If you are using one of the TESS models of
BIPV you'll find the documentation in the ..\TrnsysXX\Tess
Models\Documentation\ folder.<br>

<p>kind regards,</p>
