How luminous and solar characterization of opaque PV modules based on reflectance?

The luminous and solar characterization of opaque PV modules and of PV cell regions in semi-transparent PV laminates (Table 3) is based on the reflectance and the radiative re-emission (qi secondary internal heat transfer factor) properties, since they present null transmittance.

What are luminous and solar characteristics?

The main luminous and solar characteristics, such as the light transmittance and the solar factor, are slightly dependent on the PV module technology and configuration but are very influenced by the transparency of the PV laminate, following a linear dependence.

Are luminescent solar concentrators 'invisibly' integrating semi-transparent photovoltaic elements into a building?

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) offer a unique opportunity to ‘invisibly’ integrate semi-transparent photovoltaic architectural elements, such as electrodeless glazing units, into the building envelope.

Do PV modules have a lower light transmittance and solar factor?

Compared to standard PVB laminated glasses, PV modules show lower light transmittance and solar factor in all cases, although comparable g values have been obtained for a transparency of 40% in amorphous and crystalline silicon PV laminates (around 0.4).

Can luminescent solar concentrators serve as large-area sunlight collectors?

Nature Photonics 12, 105–110 (2018) Cite this article Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) can serve as large-area sunlight collectors for terrestrial and space-based photovoltaics.
