A South Korean research team has developed a novel model to predict power output and hot-spot risk in colored building-integrated PV (c-BIPV) systems featuring artistic images. The researchers modeled PV arrays displaying 50 masterpieces, including Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and Vincent van Gogh's Café Terrace at Night. "Unlike a uniformly colored module, an image-based array contains many differently colored cells. Because each color requires a different optical reflection profile, the photocurrent generated by each cell can vary across the array," corresponding author Hyung-Jun ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
