Photovoltaic Curtain Wall generates energy in the building implementing solar control by filtering effect, avoiding infrared and UV irradiation to the interior.
According to the literature review, VPV curtain walls exhibit significant potential for energy savings owing to their excellent thermal insulation performance . Furthermore, the shading effect of PV cells can alleviate discomfort glare and enhance occupants’ visual comfort .
Annual power generation of photovoltaic curtain walls on different facades of buildings. According to the characteristics of photovoltaic modules, the attenuation rate of photovoltaic modules is around 2% in the first year, and the average annual attenuation rate from the following year is around 0.6%.
Photovoltaic technology has the capability to generate cleaner and low-carbon energy [ 25 ]. The photovoltaic technology based on exterior walls improves the energy performance of buildings by converting solar energy into electricity, achieving dual functional integration of solar power generation and building curtain walls [ 26 ].
Based on Table 7 and Table 8, the annual and total power generation data for the photovoltaic curtain walls on different facades can be obtained. The south facade’s photovoltaic curtain wall has the highest power generation capacity, with a cumulative power generation of 17,730.42 MWh over a 25-year period.
After sensitivity analysis of the cost of photovoltaic curtain walls and the efficiency of solar panels, it was found that as the cost increases, the economy of photovoltaic curtain walls gradually deteriorates, and improving the efficiency of solar panels can improve the cost-effectiveness ratio of each facade.
