“…The vast majority of the research works found on homogeneous PV glazing systems focus on modeling [28,38,[79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89]. However, there are a few research papers based on experimental work.…”

“…Yoon et al [88] also used ESP-r to evaluate the solar radiation distribution on a façade incorporating transparent thin-film PV, evaluating the actual orientation of a building vs. the optimal orientation for maximizing the PV production. Finally, Heim et al [82] evaluated a triple-glazed window with a transparent thin-film layer on the external surface, concluding that the proposed system could protect against overheating while maintaining window transparency. However, the authors pointed out that the electric production was low, and experimental validation was required.…”

“…A second solution used was one-diode equivalent circuits models; see Figure 6. These were implemented assuming that the module operated under the maximum operation point [73,82,84]. However, this approach also allowed for modeling the interaction with the inverter, hence allowing for system design and operation optimization.…”

Review of Transparent and Semi-Transparent Building-Integrated Photovoltaics for Fenestration Application Modeling in Building Simulations

Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) have attracted interest due to their capacity to feasibly supply buildings with renewable power generation, helping to achieve net-zero or net-positive energy goals. BIPV systems include many different solutions depending on the application, the PV technology, and the envelope material they substitute. Among BIPV systems, the last two decades have seen a rising interest in transparent and semi-transparent BIPV (T- and ST-BIPV), which add features such as daylighting and solar radiation control. T- and ST-BIPV mainly consist of opaque PV cells embedded in fenestration systems (PV cladding), while most recent research considers semi-transparent PV cells (homogeneous PV glazing) with improved optical properties. The evaluation of T- and ST-BIPV systems in building performance is complex, as it needs to combine optical, thermal, electrical, and daylighting calculations. Therefore, adequate modeling tools are key to the development of these technologies. A literature review is presented on T- and ST-BIPV. First, the types of T- and ST-BIPV technologies present in the literature are summarized, highlighting the current trends. Then, the most common optical, thermal, and electrical models are described, finishing with a summary of the T-and ST-BIPV modeling capabilities of the most common building simulation tools. Regardless of the implemented modeling tools, the main challenges to be considered are the optical model, the inclusion of the PV output in the window energy balance, and the calculation of the cell temperature for the correct assessment of cell efficiency. Modeling research mostly considers conventional PV (Si-based PV and thin-film) technologies, and research studies rarely address the cost evaluation of these T- and ST-BIPV systems.

“…Interest in semi-transparent PV devices has undergone a massive revival in the last 20 years due to the ability of such devices to be fully integrated into building elements such as skylights, facades, windows and even walls (Saifullah, Gwak, and Yun 2016). Semi-transparent PV cell devices based on perovskite, thin-film and organic technologies are on the verge of becoming commercial available (Heim, Knera, and Machniewicz 2015;Romero-Gómez et al 2015). Current approaches have been limited due to issues inherent in each technology, in terms of its scalability and long-term stability when exposed to in-situ environmental conditions (Bouvard, Vanzo, and Schüler 2015;Klampaftis et al 2009).…”

Heating and cooling (H/C) represent the largest share of energy consumption worldwide. Buildings are the main consumers of H/C, while the share of renewable energy for H/C provision still represents a low percentage, 22.0% in 2019. Hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PV-T) systems are gaining increasing attention both in research and in applications, as they generate both electricity and useful heat simultaneously. The relevance and potential of PV-T collectors and their integration into wider systems are evident, but there is still a lack of review articles that address the potential of these systems in building applications in a comprehensive way. This work aims to review the state-of-the-art of PV-T collectors for building applications, as well as the corresponding PV-T systems for solar combined cooling, heating and power (S-CCHP) provision. The novelties of this work involve the comparison of these systems with conventional solar H/C technologies, the review of the market of H/C technologies, a summary of the challenges for the wider integration of S-CCHP systems and proposal lines of work to improve the cost-competitiveness of these systems. The first section summarises the focus and findings of previous reviews, followed by an overview of the current development status of the main types of PV-T collectors. Then, PV-T-based S-CCHP systems are reviewed, and the potential of PV-T systems’ penetration in the built environment is evaluated and discussed.
