Integrated CdTe PV glazing into windows: Energy and daylight performance for different window-to-wall ratio

, 2019
When integrated photovoltaics into building windows, the solar cells will absorb a fraction of solar radiation that hit on the window surface to generate electrical power and thus obstruct the solar energy and natural daylight that would have penetrated ...
