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.
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.
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.
They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment. In contrast, a photovoltaic curtain wall not only insulates the building but also generates power for over 30 years. This reduces monthly electricity bills and ultimately pays for itself over time.
