Do semi-transparent photovoltaic curtain walls improve thermal performance?

Semi-transparent photovoltaic (STPV) curtain walls play a crucial role in building decarbonization. Nonetheless, Previous studies mainly concentrated on improving the electrical, daylighting and thermal performance of STPV curtain walls separately, ignoring the interdependencies among these performance factors.

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.

What is a PV curtain wall?

The PV curtain wall usually consists of a sheet of laminated glass embedded with solar cells, a cavity filled with air or argon, and a piece of glass substrate .

Why do PV curtain walls have a poor visual effect?

Traditional PV curtain wall with standard square-shaped solar cells usually results in a poor visual effect due to the obvious contrast between the opaque silicon solar cells and the transparent glass .
