TNO researchers build world's first bifacial PV window

The new multifunctional PV window concept aims to produce electricity while providing over-heating protection for better indoor thermal and visual comfort. It consists of an insulating glazing unit with bifacial crystalline silicon solar cells strips and embedded venetian blinds that act as reflectors for the rear side of the cells. A research group coordinated by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) has fabricated a multifunctional PV window concept that is aimed at producing electricity while providing over-heating protection for better indoor thermal and visual ...
