“…Higher levels of VLT were also evident in the best-performing modules, particularly Module 1, which was not double-glazed. These findings emphasise the importance of understanding the interaction between power, thermal and optical energy performance, under specific climatic conditions [62].…”

Semi-transparent Building Integrated Photovoltaics provide a fresh approach to the renewable energy sector, combining the potential of energy generation with aesthetically pleasing, multi-functional building components. Employing a range of technologies, they can be integrated into the envelope of the building in different ways, for instance, as a key element of the roofing or façade in urban areas. Energy performance, measured by their ability to produce electrical power, at the same time as delivering thermal and optical efficiencies, is not only impacted by the system properties, but also by a variety of climatic and environmental factors. The analytical framework laid out in this paper can be employed to critically analyse the most efficient solution for a specific location; however, it is not always possible to mitigate energy losses, using commercially available materials. For this reason, a brief overview of new concept devices is provided, outlining the way in which they mitigate energy losses and providing innovative solutions for a sustainable energy future.

“…Placing PV in the façades offers a solution to this [9,10]. A high amount of research is conducted towards the different aspects of BIPV, such as BIPV Thermal (BIPVT) installations [11][12][13], a life-cycle analysis of BIPV installations [14,15], ab optimal design to match the electric loads in NZEB [16], the refurbishment and renovation of older buildings using BIPV [17][18][19], the thermal impact on the building [20][21][22][23], novel PV materials for use in BIPV products [24][25][26][27], the role of Building Information Management (BIM) in the design of new buildings with BIPV [28][29][30], and specific case studies [31][32][33][34][35]. This manuscript focuses on the electrical installation aspects of façade BIPV modules where a high degree of modularity is envisioned.…”

Since building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) modules are typically installed during, not after, the construction phase, BIPVs have a profound impact compared to conventional building-applied photovoltaics on the electrical installation and construction planning of a building. As the cost of BIPV modules decreases over time, the impact of electrical system architecture and converters will become more prevalent in the overall cost of the system. This manuscript provides an overview of potential BIPV electrical architectures. System-level criteria for BIPV installations are established, thus providing a reference framework to compare electrical architectures. To achieve modularity and to minimize engineering costs, module-level DC/DC converters preinstalled in the BIPV module turned out to be the best solution. The second part of this paper establishes converter-level requirements, derived and related to the BIPV system. These include measures to increase the converter fault tolerance for extended availability and to ensure essential safety features.

In this paper, design of solar energy harvesting system which integrated in building glass window was proposed. The location as the design reference is Bandar Lampung Building. Bandar Lampung Building uses 90% of the glass on the outside walls building with facing the sunrise and sunset. The design solar energy harvesting system was consisted of solar glass and electronic power system. Solar glass using several mini PV affixed on the glass with space in between, so partially of sunlight pass into the room. The solar energy harvesting system used for DC house network and not connected to the grid system. The solar energy harvesting is also equipped with power electronic system such as MPPT, lead acid battery, and DC-DC converter. The design of solar energy harvesting system is using calculative method based on secondary data several references for this case. Area of the solar glass reaches 16.32 m2 for 1 office room scale. The ratio between PV and room glass about 0.35. The power average of the solar glass on the glass building with facing to the sunrise is about 74.35 W, and then the average power of the solar glass with facing to the sunlight about 161.32W.
