BIPV Facade System_Solar Curtain Wall-BIPVSYSTEM
The Architectural Wall™ series is our flagship BIPV Facade System, designed for seamless integration into modern curtain wall structures. Utilizing high-efficiency N-type cells, it delivers
The present study documents the design, development and testing of a BIPV/T curtain wall prototype, featuring several thermal enhancing techniques that have been deemed suitable for building integration purposes.
This study presented the design, development and testing of a novel BIPV/T curtain wall prototype. The developed system has the potential for prefabrication and modularization, and it is intended as a complete building envelope solution. The design of the prototype was based on structural, architectural and building envelope requirements.
A BIPV/T curtain wall prototype was studied experimentally in an indoor solar simulator facility. Thermal enhancement techniques, including multiple inlets, semi-transparent instead of opaque PV and a newly introduced flow deflector were evaluated. Test results showed a thermal efficiency of up to 33%.
The curtain wall technology shows significant potential for standardized, easy to construct BIPV/T systems which also allows for design flexibility (incorporation of skylights and daylight elements). The authors have laid the groundwork for technology adoption using components and techniques familiar to building design professionals.
