The transmission coefficients of the PV-VG glazing sample made by Hanergy Group measured by the optic spectrophotometer are T PV-VG-visible = 16% and T PV-VG (780-1100) = 42%, while the transmission coefficients of the combination of a self-cleaning glass and PV glass are 19% and 48%, respectively.
The optical transmittance, reflectance, and haze ratio of the transparent c-Si solar cells were measured in the wavelength range of 300– 1,100 nm using a UV-vis/NIR spectrophotometer (Cary 5000, Agilent) equipped with a 110 mm integrating sphere to account for the total light (diffuse + specular) reflected from the devices.
When the PV-VG glazing is imposed by solar radiation, a portion of solar radiation will be reflected while some will be transmitted through the different glazing layers depending on the transmission property of each layer.
The output voltage and current at maximum power point of the PV glass in the sample PV-VG glazing were also measured under different light intensities and presented in Table 5. The average output voltage and current of PV-VG glazing is 53.30 V and 197.5 mA, so the electric power generation of PV-VG glazing is 10.5 W.
The average output voltage and current of PV-VG glazing is 53.30 V and 197.5 mA, so the electric power generation of PV-VG glazing is 10.5 W. In comparison, the average output voltage and current of PV glass is 37.10 V and 131.8 mA. The electric power generation of PV glass is 4.9 W.
