AB - In this paper the results of theoretical and experimental investigation of  electrical energy generated with differently oriented PV modules used as  facade elements, are presented. It was found that in 2013, optimally oriented  monocristalline solar module of 60 Wp generated 62.9 kWh; horizontal module  58.1 kWh; vertical module oriented toward the South 43.9 kWh; vertical module  oriented toward the East 25.7 kWh, and vertical module oriented toward the  West 22.9 kWh of electrical energy. Also it was found that optimally oriented  Building Integrated PV system (BIPV) of 1.2 kWp can produce 1081.6 kWh/year;  horizontal, vertical oriented toward the South, vertical oriented toward the  East and vertical oriented toward the West can generate 7.6%, 30.2%, 59.2%  and 63.6 less electrical energy, respectively. The greenhouse-gas payback  periods (GPBP) for the optimally oriented and horizontal BIPV systems were  estimated to be 7.8 and 8.5 years, respectively. The obtained results can be  applied in designing residential, commercial and other buildings with BIPV  systems in Serbia. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. TR  33009]
