Technical FAQs 4

Does Photovoltaic Glass fit in a curtain wall?

No, the BIPV photovoltaic glass structurally does not differ from other types of conventional glazing. Therefore, it is integrated into the building envelope (curtain wall, façade, or skylight) like any construction material. What solar control and comfort advantages does photovoltaic glass offer in a curtain wall?

What is a photovoltaic curtain wall?

They enhance thermal comfort and help prevent the greenhouse effect. A standard curtain wall offers no return on investment. In contrast, a photovoltaic curtain wall not only insulates the building but also generates power for over 30 years. This reduces monthly electricity bills and ultimately pays for itself over time.

What are exterior glass curtain walls?

Building exterior glass curtain walls serve as the interface between the indoor artificial environment and the outdoor natural environment, fulfilling the essential function of thermal insulation while also playing vital roles in providing daylighting and views .

What is a curtain wall?

Curtain walling refers to a non-structural cladding system made from fabricated aluminum, commonly used on the outer walls of tall multi-storey buildings. This lightweight material offers ease of installation and can be customized to be glazed, opaque, or equipped with infill panels.
