Scientists in China have outlined a new system architecture for vacuum integrated photovoltaic (VPV) curtain walls. They claim the new design can reduce building energy consumption and yield more surplus power generation electricity.
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 .
At present, crystalline silicon solar cells and amorphous silicon solar cells are mainly used in photovoltaic curtain wall (roofing) systems. Photovoltaic glass modules have different color effects depending on the type of product used.
The physical properties of the photovoltaic curtain wall (roof) system mainly include wind pressure resistance, water tightness, air tightness, thermal performance, air sound insulation performance, in-plane deformation performance, seismic requirements, impact resistance performance, lighting performance, etc.
By contrast. VPV curtain walls with low PV coverage may have overheating issues, but may help the building require less energy for lighting and heating. “Thus, the single-objective optimal design of the VPV curtain walls is unable to balance its restrictive and even contradictory functions,” they stated.
