With the rapid development of photovoltaic technologies, building-integrated (BIPV) windows could be used to replace traditional glazing, especially semi-transparent amorphous silicon (a-Si) (STPV) which can generate electricity in situ and admit daylight into indoor environment. The utilization PV modules provides benefit low solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) as a key characteristic window products. Meanwhile, it also produces drawback remaining energy converted increases cooling load. Due...
In recent years, as a multifunctional application of photovoltaic technologies, building-integrated (BIPV) glazing is used to generate power while natural lighting provided part building façade.Unlike those PV windows made by crystalline silicon solar cells, the semi-transparent cadmium telluride (CdTe) (STPV) can admit daylight with certain degree transmittance without any shading.Therefore, it provide better visual comfort occupants.Adopting STPV will also affect overall energy consumption...
Building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technology plays an important role on the path to carbon neutral society.The CdTe-based vacuum PV glazing is proposed improve thermal performance of glazing.Therefore, goals renewable energy production and energy-efficient building can be achieved at same time.To fully understand dynamic heat transfer process behaviour, this study conducted a comprehensive numerical evaluation based mathematic model for glazing.It was found average solar gain...
