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.
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%.
Moreover, the efficiency of solar energy utilization ranged between 44% and 63%. To address the trade-off between indoor lighting and photovoltaic performance in BIPV/T (building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal) systems, a novel glass curtain wall design based on a micro-scale transmissive concentrator has been proposed [40, 41, 42, 43].
Examples include colored solar panels in Denmark [ 27 ], Building-integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) walls in Italy [ 28 ], and the Ekoviikki Sustainable City Project in Finland [ 29 ]. Currently, research on photovoltaic curtain walls is still in its early stages, primarily centered around the performance evaluation of such systems.
