“…However, it is worth mentioning that this coating used on the outer surface of the building envelope may be affected by phenomena such as ultraviolet rays from solar radiation and rainwater erosion. This type of functional material's durability and cyclic stability [70] need to be evaluated.…”

PV windows are seen as potential candidates for conventional windows. Improving the comprehensive performance of PV windows in terms of electrical, optical, and heat transfer has received increasing attention. This paper reviews the development of BIPV façade technologies and summarizes the related experimental and simulation studies. Based on the results of the literature research, the average comprehensive energy-saving rate of BIPV façades can reach 37.18%. Furthermore, limitations and optimization directions of photovoltaic integrated shading devices (PVSDs), photovoltaic double-skin façades, and photovoltaic windows are presented. To improve the energy-saving potential of windows as non-energy efficiency elements of buildings, smart PV windows are proposed to be the key to breakthrough comprehensive performance. However, not all switchable windows concepts can be applied to PV windows. Typical studies on smart windows and PV windows are sorted out to summarize the challenges and optimization of smart PV window technical solutions. Considering the technological innovations in smart PV windows, two requirements of energy-saving materials and building envelopes are put forward. The advances in materials and the building envelope are complementary, which will promote the sophistication and promotion of solar building technology.

The antireflection (AR) coating applied to solar glass in photovoltaic modules has remained largely unchanged for decades, despite its well‐documented lack of durability. Traditional porous structured single‐layer AR coatings last as little as 5 years in the field. In this paper, we propose a novel five‐layer dense AR coating design that offers improved durability and effectiveness compared to traditional coatings. This paper provides detailed insights into the development and characterization of the novel five‐layer AR coating, including simulation, optical measurements, and abrasion testing, providing guidance to the photovoltaic community seeking to improve the efficiency and longevity of solar modules.
