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.
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
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
At present, there are two main technical modes of PV curtain wall: one is crystalline silicon curtain wall and the other is amorphous silicon curtain wall. Crystalline silicon curtain wall is a building material combining polycrystalline or monocrystalline silicon module array with the curtain wall.
