To address overheating and save energy in air conditioning, this study proposed novel single- and dual-inlet ventilation PV curtain wall systems (SVPV and DVPV). In summer, the building exhaust is introduced into the channel to strengthen PV cooling, while incoming fresh air is used to preheat dew-point air.
Compared with ordinary curtain walls, PV curtain walls can not only provide clean electricity, but also have the functions of flame retardant, heat insulation, noise reduction and light pollution reduction, making it the better wall material for glass commercial buildings. (1) On-Grid PV Curtain Wall Power Generation Schematic Diagram
Solar photovoltaic curtain wall integrates photovoltaic power generation technology and curtain wall technology. It is a high-tech product. It is a new type of building material that integrates power generation, sound insulation, heat insulation, safety and decoration functions.
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.
As an effective means of energy conservation and emission reduction, PV curtain wall technology has been extensively promoted since it is not only significant from the perspective of electrical gain but also allows for the collection and reuse of the generated heat in conjunction with air-conditioning systems.
The photovoltaic curtain wall (roof) system, as the outer protective structure of the building, must first have various functions such as weatherproof, heat preservation, heat insulation, sound insulation, lightning protection, fire prevention, lighting, ventilation, etc., in order to provide people with a safe and comfortable indoor environment. .
