(1) On-Grid PV Curtain Wall Power Generation Schematic Diagram
Solar photovoltaic curtain wall integrates photovoltaic power generation technology and curtain wall technology. It is a high-tech product. It is a new type of building material that integrates power generation, sound insulation, heat insulation, safety and decoration functions.
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.
The photovoltaic curtain wall (roof) system, as the outer protective structure of the building, must first have various functions such as weatherproof, heat preservation, heat insulation, sound insulation, lightning protection, fire prevention, lighting, ventilation, etc., in order to provide people with a safe and comfortable indoor environment. .
The vacuum integrated photovoltaic (VPV) curtain wall has garnered widespread attention from scholars owing to its remarkable thermal insulation performance and power generation ability. However, there is a lack of in-depth, performance-driven optimal design that considers the mutually constraining functions of the VPV curtain wall.
On-Grid PV curtain wall has the dual characteristics of glass building materials and PV power generation. As a building material for power generation, PV curtain wall is mainly applied to the lighting roof, curtain wall facade, shading wall and other areas of commercial high-rise buildings.
