Xiong et al. [ 31] develops a power model for Photovoltaic Curtain Wall Array (PVCWA) systems in building complexes and identifies optimal configurations for mitigating shading effects, providing valuable insights for the application of PVCWA systems in buildings.
Photovoltaic Curtain Wall generates energy in the building implementing solar control by filtering effect, avoiding infrared and UV irradiation to the interior.
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.
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.
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 ].
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.
