On-Grid PV curtain wall has the dual characteristics of glass building materials and PV power generation. As a building material for power generation, PV curtain wall is mainly applied to the lighting roof, curtain wall facade, shading wall and other areas of commercial high-rise buildings. (1) Application Scene
The PV curtain wall is the most typical one in the integrated application of PV building. It combines PV power generation technology with curtain wall technology, which uses special resin materials to insert solar cells between glass materials and convert solar energy into electricity through the panels for use by enterprises.
Photovoltaic Curtain Wall generates energy in the building implementing solar control by filtering effect, avoiding infrared and UV irradiation to the interior.
Compared with ordinary curtain walls, PV curtain walls can not only provide clean electricity, but also have the functions of flame retardant, heat insulation, noise reduction and light pollution reduction, making it the better wall material for glass commercial buildings. (1) On-Grid PV Curtain Wall Power Generation Schematic Diagram
At present, crystalline silicon solar cells and amorphous silicon solar cells are mainly used in photovoltaic curtain wall (roofing) systems. Photovoltaic glass modules have different color effects depending on the type of product used.
According to the literature review, VPV curtain walls exhibit significant potential for energy savings owing to their excellent thermal insulation performance . Furthermore, the shading effect of PV cells can alleviate discomfort glare and enhance occupants’ visual comfort .
