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.
The carbon dioxide emissions per square meter of photovoltaic curtain wall during the material production stage are approximately 197 kg. The estimated lifespan of these photovoltaic modules is around 25 years. Based on the provided information, replace the curtain walls on the four facades of the building.
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%.
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 ].
Based on Table 7 and Table 8, the annual and total power generation data for the photovoltaic curtain walls on different facades can be obtained. The south facade’s photovoltaic curtain wall has the highest power generation capacity, with a cumulative power generation of 17,730.42 MWh over a 25-year period.
