Amorphous Silicon PV Curtain Wall (courtesy of Onyx Solar) Photovoltaic glass, example of data sheet specifications The PV cells laid in the interlayer foils are manufactured following a specific quality control plan and by setting in place a specific factory production control (FPC) to assess components and their performances.
PV can be incorporated into façade completing, or replacing, traditional vision areas or spandrel glass. A photovoltaic module, not only produces electricity using sun power, but it has to behave as all the other curtain walling components, so it must provide one or more of the following performances:
Photovoltaic architectural glazing enables buildings to produce extra energy while maintaining their design, functionality, and views. They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment.
The BIPV production of solar energy is generally near the utility's peak loads of the building. The renewable solar production reduces energy costs for the building during the time of its greatest demand.
The aesthetic integration is also commonly discussed, as it is a critical point. The PV panel may be incorporated into many different assemblies and part of the building envelope. PV can be incorporated into façade completing, or replacing, traditional vision areas or spandrel glass.
