Post‐Mortem Analysis of Building‐Integrated Flexible Thin Film Modules Open
Flexible, lightweight thin film (TF) photovoltaic (PV) modules offer a unique opportunity for integration into non‐planar surfaces unable to support heavy weights. While such applications increase the potential for PV in urban areas, the r…
Outdoor Performance Analysis of Semitransparent Photovoltaic Windows with Bifacial Cells and Integrated Blinds Open
The stricter requirements for the energy performance of buildings are creating a market for several building‐integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) technologies, including photovoltaic (PV) windows. Herein, an innovative multifunctional PV window …
The Impact of System Sizing and Water Temperature on the Thermal Characteristics of Floating Photovoltaic Systems Open
Accurately calculating the annual yield of floating PV (FPV) systems necessitates incorporating appropriate FPV-specific heat loss coefficients into the calculation, including both wind-dependent and wind-independent factors. The thermal b…
Optimal Design of Multilayer Optical Color Filters for Building‐Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) Applications Open
Herein, the application of a comprehensive modeling framework that can help optimize the design of multilayered optical filters for coloring photovoltaic (PV) modules is presented based on crystalline silicon solar cells. To overcome techn…
Colored PV modules based on Interference Filters Open
Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) has the potential to play a major role in the ongoing transition towards nearly zero energy buildings. However, the BIPV market is still a niche market, representing only 1% of the global PV share. …
