Building-integrated concentrating photovoltaics for vertical applications

An Indian-British research team has developed a building-integrated linear concentrating PV facade by sandwiching an asymmetric compound parabolic concentrator, PERC cells, and encapsulation layers between two sheets of glass. The system was tested under both indoor and outdoor conditions and its payback period was found to be of up to 11 years.Researchers from India and the United Kingdom have developed a novel smart solar façade with linear concentrating PV and PERC solar cells. "Our work introduces a linear concentrating photovoltaic (BILCPV) façade system that is simple to manufacture using ...
