Sudan solar Curtain Wall Design

How can a curtain wall system increase solar power in tall buildings?

Increasing electrical generation and solar potential of tall buildings can therefore be attained by manipulation of the geometry and other design features of the facades, subject to visual and functional constraints, such as window design and positioning. A curtain wall system represents an efficient way to integrate photovoltaic modules.

What is a photovoltaic curtain wall?

They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment. In contrast, a photovoltaic curtain wall not only insulates the building but also generates power for over 30 years. This reduces monthly electricity bills and ultimately pays for itself over time.

Does partitioned STPV curtain wall improve sudi300–3000lx/60 & DGP?

The results showed that the optimal design of the partitioned STPV curtain wall in Beijing improves the sUDI300–3000lx/60 % and DGPs <0.3 by 25.0 % and 39.1 %, and achieves net-zero energy curtain wall.

Are STPV curtain walls a balance between occupants' comfort & energy conservation?

This study aims to achieve a balance among occupants’ comfort, building energy conservation, and PV power generation through the partitioned optimal design of the STPV curtain walls.
