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.
Building simulations showed up to 206.7 kWh/m 2 /year energy demand reduction. Transparent photovoltaic curtain walls provided dual functionality by generating energy while regulating indoor optical and thermal conditions, representing a promising solution for sustainable architecture, particularly in the near-infrared (NIR) region.
This work presented a systematic study of PSC-based curtain walls for building energy applications. A semi-transparent perovskite solar cell (ST-PSC) with high infrared transmittance and PEAI surface passivation is developed for building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) fenestration structure.
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.
