Curtain walls are becoming a popular application for photovoltaic glass in buildings. They allow for owners to generate power from areas of the building they had never thought of. Buildings become a real power plant, keeping their design appeal, aesthetics, efficiency and functionality.
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
The photovoltaic curtain wall (roof) system, as the outer protective structure of the building, must first have various functions such as weatherproof, heat preservation, heat insulation, sound insulation, lightning protection, fire prevention, lighting, ventilation, etc., in order to provide people with a safe and comfortable indoor environment. .
