They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment. In contrast, a photovoltaic curtain wall not only insulates the building but also generates power for over 30 years. This reduces monthly electricity bills and ultimately pays for itself over time.
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 .
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.
The aluminum systems are not only easy to transport but also straightforward to manufacture. Curtain walls —also known as glass façades and exterior glazing systems —convert previously unused spaces into energy assets, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
