Semi-translucent solar window based on concentrated photovoltaics

Researchers in Spain have designed a PV window that performs active daylighting management while producing electricity. The system can reportedly ensure high power density, as it harvests all the direct light incident on the aperture area. Researchers from the Polytechnic University of Madrid in Spain have developed a building-integrated PV (BIPV) module that acts as a smart blind that protects building users from direct light, but still reduces the need for artificial daylighting. "Unlike conventional semi-transparent PV modules that compromise between energy generation and daylighting, our design ...
