Testing shows BIPV using patterned glass performs better than expected

Scientists have compared conventional PV modules to self-made BIPV panels with thicker, patterned glass. They tested them both under standard conditions and outdoors under Korean summer conditions. Yield was found to be only 0. 5% lower in the textured BIPV module. Researchers from South Korea have constructed a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system that uses patterned glass for its aesthetic qualities and analyzed it against a conventional module. Unlike previous studies that reported lower energy yields in BIPV systems, this recent study's findings have shown only minimal loss. "Several ...
