Amid the global energy transition and the booming development of green buildings, photovoltaic curtain walls are becoming the focus of the construction industry in an innovative manner. It is not only an aesthetic upgrade of building appearance, but also a key part of sustainable energy solutions, injecting green momentum into urban development.
Introduction of Photovoltaic Curtain Wall System
Solar photovoltaic curtain wall (roof) system is an integrated system that combines photovoltaic conversion technology, photovoltaic curtain wall construction technology, and electric energy storage and grid-connected technology, etc. In addition to power generation, photovoltaic curtain wall (roof) system also has wind pressure resistance, watertightness, airtightness, acoustic insulation, heat preservation and sunshade performance, etc., which are necessary for the building envelope, as well as unique decorative functions. The building enclosure, building energy-saving and energy-saving functions are all achieved. It achieves the perfect combination of building enclosure, building energy saving, solar energy utilization and building decoration.
Characteristics of Photovoltaic Curtain Wall System
1, pollution-free green renewable energy, reduce environmental pollution caused by conventional power generation, in favor of environmental protection;
2、The perfect combination of building facade enclosure, energy saving and solar energy conversion, without taking up land resources;
3, in-situ power generation, in-situ use, reducing the loss of power transmission, suitable for India, Spain, Germany, Odelia and other sunny countries;
4、Power supply during the daytime power peak, soothing the peak power demand;
5, simple maintenance, low maintenance costs;
6, operational reliability, good stability;
7, as a key component of the solar cell has a long service life, crystalline silicon solar cell life can reach more than 25 years.
Application Scenarios of Photovoltaic Curtain Wall
Commercial Office Buildings: Office buildings, shopping malls and other large commercial buildings usually consume huge amounts of electricity, and PV curtain walls installed on the facade can utilize the large lighting surface to generate electricity efficiently. At the same time, the modern design of the PV curtain wall also enhances the building's recognizability and commercial value, attracting more high-quality tenants to move in.
Cultural Public Buildings: Museums, libraries, gymnasiums and other cultural venues have high requirements for architectural aesthetics and energy sustainability. It not only ensures the simple and solemn appearance of the venues, but also provides power for the constant temperature and humidity environment control, cultural relics lighting and other equipments in the venues, which helps the cultural venues to realize the goal of energy saving and emission reduction, and practice the concept of green development.
Transportation Hubs: airports, high-speed rail stations, subway stations and other transportation hubs have high pedestrian flow and large building volumes. During the peak hours of electricity consumption, the stable power generated by the PV curtain wall can also ensure the normal operation of important equipment in airports, and enhance the reliability of power supply and emergency response capability of transportation hubs.
City Landmark Buildings: As the representative of city image, the installation of PV curtain wall in landmark buildings can realize the dual function of “power generation + aesthetics”. Photovoltaic curtain wall not only adds a sense of technology to the building, but also reflects the city's determination to protect the environment and the spirit of innovation through the use of green energy, and becomes a window to show the results of the city's sustainable development, attracting the attention of tourists and investors.
Industrial Plants: Industrial production often consumes a lot of electricity, high energy-consuming enterprises install photovoltaic curtain walls on the top and façade of their plants, and the electricity generated can be used directly for production line equipment, workshop lighting, etc.. Not only can it reduce the cost of electricity, reduce carbon emissions, but also help enterprises to meet the requirements of environmental protection policies and enhance the competitiveness of the industry.
Residential Buildings: In residential neighborhoods, PV curtain walls can be used as decorative components around balconies and windows, and can also cover the building facade. Residents can use PV curtain wall to generate electricity to meet the daily lighting and home appliance use, and the remaining electricity can also be integrated into the power grid to obtain income; for villas and other independent houses, PV curtain wall can allow residents to realize a certain degree of energy self-sufficiency, and enhance the green and low-carbon attributes of living with the degree of comfort.
We have always been committed to the research and development and innovation of photovoltaic curtain wall technology, with a professional technical team and perfect service system. From project design, production and installation to post maintenance, we provide customers with one-stop solutions to ensure that every PV curtain wall project can operate efficiently and reliably. We look forward to working with more partners to build a green, intelligent and sustainable building future.
