Photovoltaics (PVs) usage has worldwidely spread thanks to the efficiency and reliability increase and price decrease of solar panels. The photovoltaic (PV) glazing technique is a preferred method in modern architecture because of its aesthetic properties besides electricity generation.
This solar power is being generated by converting sunlight into electricity through Photovoltaics (PV) which is also called as solar cells. Solar cells comprise of many parts from which tempered glass is the one whose high strength acts as a shield for the solar modules by protecting them from mechanical loads and extreme weather conditions.
In such context, the Photovoltaic (PV) window was proposed, which is fabricated by integrating semi-transparent solar cells into the traditional windows and thus enabling electricity generation from solar radiation [10, 11 ].
Flat glass transparency, low-iron glass improves photovoltaic (PV) panel efficiency. This seg- emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability. Refs. [35, 36]. Based on in-depth analyses of market size, trends, and growth projections. Table 1. Flat glass market. augmented reality and advanced display technologies.
From the angle of comprehensive energy consumption in buildings, the optical-thermal-electrical properties of PV window (or ventilation PV window) influence the energy used for artificial lighting, HVAC (Heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system, as well as electricity production, and thus the net electricity consumption.
The use of transparent photovoltaics in the US was found to have both environmental and cost benefits due to the combined reduction in building energy consumption and electricity production. Soiling of solar cover glass can result in a significant loss of electrical output of PV panels.
