Solar photovoltaic curtain wall integrates photovoltaic power generation technology and curtain wall technology. It is a high-tech product. It is a new type of building material that integrates power generation, sound insulation, heat insulation, safety and decoration functions.
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.
Photovoltaic technology has the capability to generate cleaner and low-carbon energy [ 25 ]. The photovoltaic technology based on exterior walls improves the energy performance of buildings by converting solar energy into electricity, achieving dual functional integration of solar power generation and building curtain walls [ 26 ].
Vacuum integrated photovoltaic (VPV) curtain walls, which combine the power generation ability of PV technology and the excellent thermal insulation performance of vacuum technology, have attracted widespread attention as an energy-efficient technology.
